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.

    Hmm it appears 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 as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new
    to the whole thing. Do you have any points for newbie blog writers?
    I'd genuinely appreciate it.

    First off I would like to say awesome blog! I had a quick question in which I'd
    like to ask if you don't mind. I was interested to
    find out how you center yourself and clear your head before writing.

    I've had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out.
    I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10
    to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure out
    how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Many thanks!

    With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement?
    My blog has a lot of exclusive content I've either created myself or outsourced but
    it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over
    the internet without my permission. Do you know any
    solutions to help protect against content from being ripped off?
    I'd certainly appreciate it.
