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.

    Don't chuck your cat's outdated damaging post because
    it's starting to look haggard. If you toss it aside too soon, you will probably find your
    kitty itching on other surface areas, this is the time once your kitties most like
    it..

    I'm not sure exactly why but this web site is
    loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end?
    I'll check back later and see if the problem still exists.

    Sweet blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News.
    Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
    I've been trying for a while but I never seem to get there!

    Cheers

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