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.

    An interesting discussion is worth comment. There's no doubt that that you need to
    write more on this subject matter, it might not be a taboo subject but usually people do not discuss such subjects.
    To the next! Kind regards!!

    I'm not sure exactly why but this weblog is loading incredibly slow for me.

    Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end?

    I'll check back later and see if the problem still exists.

    Superb site you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics talked about here?
    I'd really love to be a part of community where I can get feedback from other experienced individuals that share the same interest.

    If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
    Thank you!

    I do not know if it's just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering
    issues with your website. It seems like some of the text
    on your content are running off the screen. Can somebody else please
    provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to
    them too? This might be a issue with my browser because I've had
    this happen previously. Appreciate it
