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.

    Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to be running off
    the screen in Internet explorer. I'm not sure if this is a format
    issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you know.
    The design look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon.
    Kudos

    Hello! I know this is somewhat off-topic however I
    needed to ask. Does running a well-established website such as yours require a large amount of work?
    I'm brand new to writing a blog however I do
    write in my journal daily. I'd like to start a blog
    so I can share my personal experience and thoughts online.
    Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for
    brand new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!
