International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation

The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT), established in 1981,[1] is a professional organization committed to research and education in heart and lung disease and transplantation.[2] It holds annual scientific meetings and publishes The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation.[1] It also holds the largest registry of heart and lung transplant data in the world, of which one former director was Michael Peter Kaye (1983–1993).[3]

In 1981, cardiac transplantation pioneer Norman Shumway, became the lifetime honorary president and thereafter, the society widened its membership internationally and across specialities including pathology.[4]

Other founding members include Edward Stinson, Andrea Hastillo, Jacques Losman, Mark Thompson, Jack Copeland, Sir Terence English, Stuart Jamieson and Michael Kaye.[4]

ISHLT Awards

Philip K. Caves award

Since 1982, the ISHLT has awarded one of its highest awards in the name of surgeon Philip Caves, who pioneered the procedure of transvenous endomyocardial biopsy to assess for rejection following heart transplantation.[5]

Lifetime achievement awards

The ISHLT lifetime achievement award[6] is given to those whose lifetime work has "made a significant contribution toward improving the care of patients with advanced heart or lung disease" In its thirty eight year history, only seven have been awarded.[7]

Norman Shumway received the first award in 1996.[8]

Keith Reemtsma received the ISHLT Lifetime Achievement Award in 1999.[9]

In 2012, Sharon Hunt, who has published more than 200 papers related to particularly organ rejection, post-operative care and bridge-to-transplant, was awarded the ISHLT Lifetime achievement award.[10]

In 2014, the award was bestowed to Sir Terence English for "outstanding achievements and tireless dedication in the field of heart and lung transplantation". He served as a Cardiothoracic Surgeon to Papworth and Addenbrooke Hospital, between 1972 and 1995.[11]

In 2018, the seventh ISHLT lifetime achievement award was presented to O. H. Frazier for his pioneering work in the treatment of severe heart failure, and in the development and innovation of heart transplantation and artificial devices.[7]

ISHLT lifetime service award

Michael Kaye received this in 1996 and Jacques G. Losman in 1997.[6]

ISHLT O.H. Frazier award

Since 2014, the ISHLT "O.H. Frazier Award", a grant in Mechanical Circulatory Systems Translational Research has been awarded, initially sponsored by HeartWare and later sponsored by Medtronic.[6]

ISHLT pioneer award

The first 'pioneer award' was awarded to Vladimir Demikhov on 25 April 1989 in Munich, Germany, by Christian Cabrol.[12] Twenty years later, in 2009, Cabrol received the 'pioneer award'.[13]

ISHLT distinguished educator award

In 2014, the first distinguished educator award was awarded to James Kirkland.[14][15]
