Get Involved with ISHLT Standards & Guidelines
As part of its mission, ISHLT engages in the development of Professional Practice Guidelines and Consensus Statements, Health Policy Guidance Statements, Standards Statements, and other publications regarding care of patients with advanced heart and/or lung disease. The development of ISHLT documents relies on the dedication of ISHLT members who volunteer as project leads, writing committee members, and reviewers, and without whom such publications would not be possible.
Who contributes to ISHLT Documents?
ISHLT members from all over the world and any core therapy and professional specialty can participate in the development of ISHLT documents. Click the image below to see who worked on documents published in 2025.

Looking for ways to contribute?
Most document proposals begin at the IDN or PC level, and any calls for contributors that take place throughout the year are issued to relevant Professional Communities. Getting more involved with your Professional Community is a great way to ensure you're aware of the latest S&G opportunities.
