Why are hearts of t-structures of triangulated categories abelian?

Is there any reason why this is true? I haven't found any proof yet.

I know what triangulated categories and t-structures are, however I'm not convinced that hearts of t-structures are abelian categories.

I understand your question as being a reference request.

This is a theorem first proved in Beilinson, Bernstein and Deligne's paper Faisceaux pervers, published in Astérisque. The result in question is Théorème 1.3.6.

A proof in English appears in Kashiwara and Schapira's book Sheaves on manifolds, published by Springer. The result is Proposition 10.1.11.
