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.

    Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal give phenomenal performances as cowboys who fall for one another.

    I'm curious to find out what blog platform you happen to be working with?
    I'm experiencing some minor security issues with my latest website
    and I would like to find something more risk-free.
    Do you have any suggestions?

    I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is required to get set up?
    I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I'm not very web savvy so I'm not 100% sure.
    Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
