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.

    My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.

    I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
    But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on several websites for about a year and am
    anxious about switching to another platform.
    I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net.

    Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi there would you mind letting me know which web host you're working with?
    I've loaded your blog in 3 completely different internet browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most.
    Can you recommend a good web hosting provider at a fair price?
    Cheers, I appreciate it!

    I'm amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog
    that's equally educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you have
    hit the nail on the head. The problem is something which not
    enough folks are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this during my search for something concerning this.
