Former Publications (to be
phased out)
a) Leaflet (2002)
Articles and news about heart babies and life-saving treatments:
- heartbreak - heart disease affects 100
newborn babies every week, so what can we do about it?
- new hope - in some heart conditions an
incredibly delicate "operation" can be performed to
open a closed heart valve, in the womb, avoiding premature
delivery and resulting in healthier babies
- buying time - babies are not the only ones
who benefit from detection of heart disease; parents often
find it easier to cope with the emotions of heart disease if
they know in advance
- breakthrough - a revolutionary technique
for measuring the tiny electrical signals in a baby's heart,
whilst still in the womb, using just sensors on the mother's
tummy
b) Document:
"About echoUK" (2002)
A brief introduction to the charity when
it was known as "echoUK"
c) Video & MPEG
(2000)
A moving account of the different experiences of parents of heart
babies; how doctors and sonographers are working to improve
the detection of heart disease and why the echo charity was set-up.
In the video, doctors and
sonographers explain the issues and the parents tell how an early diagnosis
of a heart problem in their babies affected them. This video is ideal for learning more about the issues and helping
to raise awareness.
