The DCD Registry Standards & Governance Task Force is established to develop the scientific, data, and governance foundation needed for any future ISHLT-affiliated global registry for heart transplantation from donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors. The goal is to enable harmonized, high-quality international data collection in this rapidly evolving field while ensuring scientific neutrality and representation across global practice.
