ISHLT operates two international registries: the Thoracic Transplant Registry and the International Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support Registry.
Free access to a deidentified dataset is available, via a data request and approval process, to all members who wish to conduct research using these valuable data repositories.
ISHLT develops and makes available to the profession and the public practice guidelines, standards statements, and consensus documents regarding all aspects of advanced heart and lung failure. ISHLT also collaborates with other professional organizations to develop such documents.
To date, ISHLT has solely produced or collaborated to produce more than 30 such documents, with several more currently under development.
Spanish Translations of several S&G documents are now available, and more translations into Spanish and other languages will be added every year.
There are four categories of ISHLT membership:
- Active Membership is open to all individuals actively engaged in transplantation medicine or related medical or commercial fields. Active members may vote, hold office, and serve on committees.
- Associate Membership is open to all individuals in training (resident, fellow, medical student, nursing student, graduate student). Associate members are assessed a reduced membership fee. Associate membership is limited to three years. Associate members may not vote or hold office but may serve on committees.
- Emeritus Membership is bestowed by the Board of Directors upon individuals who are active members of the Society in good standing, who have retired from active practice, and who, in the estimation of the Board, have made significant contributions to the Society. Membership fees are waived for Emeritus members. Emeritus members may vote and serve on committees but may not hold office.
- Retired Membership is granted to all members who write to the board requesting it, who have been members in good standing for the 10 years prior to the request, and who have retired from active medical practice. Membership dues are waived for retired members. Retired members do not receive the JHLT and may not vote, hold office, or serve on committees. Retired status will be granted at each Fall meeting of the Board of Directors, to take effect the following calendar year.
ISHLT membership is offered on a calendar year basis. Dues are prorated to 50% for individuals joining after June 30. Individuals joining after October 31 must pay a full year's dues, but receive membership for November and December at no charge.
