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 know this if off topic but I'm looking
    into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to
    get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a
    pretty penny? I'm not very web savvy so I'm not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would
    be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it

    Heya terrific website! Does running a blog like this require a large amount of work?
    I've virtually no understanding of programming however I had been hoping to start my own blog soon.
    Anyway, should you have any ideas or techniques for new blog owners please share.
    I know this is off topic however I just had to ask.
    Thanks!
