The Children's Heart Foundation is proud to present 'It's My Heart', a resource book for patients and families affected by congenital heart defects. In plain, understandable language 'It's My Heart' provides descriptions of the types of congenital heart defects and acquired pediatric heart conditions your child may face. Along with explanations of the various tests, surgical procedures, and treatments for CHD's, this book also contains helpful diagrams, a glossary of medical terms, and much, much more. 'It's My Heart' was developed over a number of years by a dedicated group of doctors, nurses and parents in a collaborative effort spearheaded by The Children's Heart Foundation.

"Great resource particularly for people just beginning the journey into congenital heart defects..."

"Out of the handful of books I found on the subject, 'It's My Heart' seemed to be the most straightforward and objective..."

"I found this book to be so informative that I actually gave it away to a friend I met in a parenting class..."
