Understanding Your Child's Heart - New BHF CHD Publications

Working closely with paediatric cardiologists, the British Heart Foundation (BHF) has just produced the first six booklets of a new series, Understanding your child's heart, for the parents and families of babies and young children with congenital heart disease.

Each booklet:

• discusses the way the normal heart works and explains congenital heart disease
• explains a particular congenital heart condition, its diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment
• gives information on coping and contacts for additional support.

Further booklets will become available throughout 2009 and early 2010. For more information on these booklets or the British Heart Foundation, please go to bhf.org.uk

The first six booklets:

• Aortic stenosis
• Coarctation of the aorta
• Large ventricular septal defect
• Pulmonary stenosis
• Tetralogy of Fallot
• Transposition of the great arteries
