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.

    After I initially left a comment I seem
    to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and
    now every time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment.
    Perhaps there is a means you are able to remove me from that service?
    Appreciate it!

    I was wondering if you ever considered changing the page layout of your blog?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little
    more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

    An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment.
    I believe that you should publish more about this issue,
    it may not be a taboo subject but typically people don't
    talk about these subjects. To the next! Best wishes!!

    I am really inspired with your writing skills and also with
    the format for your weblog. Is that this a paid
    subject or did you customize it your self? Either way keep up the nice quality writing,
    it's uncommon to see a great blog like this one
    nowadays..

    Please let me know if you're looking for a article writer for your site.

    You have some really good posts and I think I would
    be a good asset. If you ever want to take some
    of the load off, I'd really like to write some articles for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine.

    Hi would you mind letting me know which web host you're using?
    I've loaded your blog in 3 different internet browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster
    then most. Can you recommend a good hosting provider at a honest price?
    Cheers, I appreciate it!

    Asking questions are in fact fastidious thing if you are not understanding anything fully, except this piece of writing gives nice understanding even.
