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.

    You really make it appear so easy together with your presentation but I to find this topic to be really something which I believe I
    might by no means understand. It seems too complex
    and very wide for me. I'm looking ahead to your
    next put up, I will attempt to get the grasp of it!

    Hey! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment
    form? I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having problems finding one?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hello! I know this is kinda off topic however I'd figured I'd ask.
    Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa?
    My site covers a lot of the same subjects as yours and I believe
    we could greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free
    to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!

    Awesome blog by the way! http://Ww17.autka.com/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=http://Www.Rodinnepravo.sk%2Fot%25C3%25A1zka%2Fle-vieux-acteur-quebecois-et-son-heritage-cinematographique-2%2F

    I think what you posted made a bunch of sense. But, think about this, suppose
    you were to create a awesome headline? I ain't saying your information is not solid., however
    what if you added something that makes people want more?
    I mean IPS Matavén - New guidelines issued
    for heart transplantation is kinda boring. You ought to
    glance at Yahoo's home page and note how they create article titles to get
    people to click. You might add a video or a pic or two to get people interested about what you've got
    to say. In my opinion, it might make your blog
    a little bit more interesting.
