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 seem so easy with your presentation but
    I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never
    understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me.
    I'm looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang of it!

    Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren't loading properly.
    I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different browsers and both show the
    same outcome.
