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've been surfing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet
    will be a lot more useful than ever before.

    Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this
    website. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's very
    hard to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and visual appeal.

    I must say you have done a very good job with this. Additionally, the blog loads
    very quick for me on Chrome. Outstanding Blog!

    Nice post. I learn something totally new and challenging on websites I stumbleupon on a daily basis.
    It will always be interesting to read through content from other writers and practice something from
    their web sites.

    I'm extremely impressed with your writing skills as well as
    with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it
    yourself? Either way keep up the nice quality writing, it's rare to see a great
    blog like this one these days.

    A motivating discussion is worth comment.
    I do believe that you should write more on this subject,
    it might not be a taboo matter but generally folks don't talk
    about these topics. To the next! Many thanks!!

    Piece of writing writing is also a excitement, if
    you know afterward you can write otherwise it is difficult to write.
