In recent years, tremendous progress has been made in the field of intra-thoracic organ transplantation, support, and replacement. The Journal provides detailed coverage of these advances via peer reviewed articles on all aspects of heart and lung transplantation and end-stage heart and lung disease. Topics covered include:

• preoperative and postoperative evaluation
• outcome analysis
• diagnosis and treatment of complications
• immunosuppressive therapies
• circulatory assist devices/artificial hearts
• medical management of patients
• basic scientific research
• organ preservation
• nursing care

The Journal is included in MEDLINE/Index Medicus, EMBASE/Excerpta Medica, and Current Contents/Clinical Medicine.

The Journal is published 12 times per year and is a benefit of membership in the Society. The February supplement contains the program and abstracts for that year's Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions. Non-members wishing to subscribe may contact the Publisher:
