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.

    I think everything posted was actually very reasonable. However, think about this, what if
    you composed a catchier title? I am not suggesting your content isn't good., but suppose you added something that grabbed people's
    attention? I mean IPS Matavén - New guidelines issued for heart transplantation is a little
    boring. You should peek at Yahoo's home page and watch how they create article headlines
    to grab people to open the links. You might add a related
    video or a pic or two to grab readers interested about what you've got to say.

    Just my opinion, it might bring your posts a little bit more interesting.

    love to write some articles for your blog in exchange

    Cheers!

    Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some
    guidance from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog?
    I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
    I'm thinking about setting up my own but I'm not sure where
    to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions?
    Appreciate it
