Maternal Conditions: Certain maternal conditions, such as diabetes or infections, can increase the risk of fetal heart problems.
Abnormal Ultrasound Findings: If other ultrasounds have shown abnormalities that may affect the heart.
Specific Concerns: If there are specific concerns about the baby’s heart development.
What Does a Fetal Echocardiography Involve?
Detailed Examination: The ultrasound technician will carefully examine the various chambers of the fetal heart, the valves, and the blood flow.
Measurements: The size and function of the heart will be assessed.
Abnormalities: The scan can help identify potential abnormalities such as heart defects, arrhythmias, or other cardiac conditions.
Important Note: Fetal echocardiography is a valuable tool for assessing the health of the baby’s heart, but it’s not always able to detect all abnormalities. It’s essential to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.
