Published in The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, the updated guidelines are a result of a collaboration between the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) Heart Failure and Transplantation, Pediatric and Infectious Disease Councils.

Chaired by Dr. Mandeep R. Mehra, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, and medical director of the Heart and Vascular Center at Brigham and Women's Hospital - both in Boston, MA - the revised guidelines for heart transplantation candidacy address some of the issues that have arisen since such guidelines were first put in place in 2006.

One key issue has been heart transplantation eligibility for patients with certain medical conditions; the 2006 guidelines stated that patients with particular illnesses should not be considered for the procedure.

    wonderful issues altogether, you simply won a new reader.
    What could you suggest about your submit that you made
    some days in the past? Any positive?

    Aw, this was an exceptionally good post. Taking the time and actual effort to make a top
    notch article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a whole lot and never seem to get nearly anything done.

    Hello, Neat post. There is an issue with your
    web site in internet explorer, could test this?

    IE still is the marketplace chief and a huge element of other people
    will omit your excellent writing because of this problem.

    When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added"
    checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four e-mails with the
    same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service?

    Thanks!

    I'm not sure exactly why but this weblog is loading extremely
    slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my
    end? I'll check back later and see if the problem still exists.

    Hmm it looks like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so
    I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to everything.
    Do you have any points for novice blog writers?
    I'd really appreciate it.

    Look forward to checking out your web page yet again.
