Fetal Echocardiography
Fetal echocardiography is a specialized ultrasound test performed during pregnancy to evaluate the structure and function of an unborn baby’s heart. It uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the fetal heart, helping detect any abnormalities early.
This test is usually recommended when there is a higher risk of congenital heart defects, such as family history, maternal health conditions, or abnormal findings in routine pregnancy scans.
Key Benefits:
- • Early Detection of Heart Defects – Identifies congenital heart abnormalities before birth, enabling timely care.
- • Detailed Fetal Heart Assessment – Provides clear images of the baby’s heart chambers, valves, and structure.
- • Safe & Non-invasive – Uses ultrasound waves with no radiation, making it completely safe for mother and baby.
- • Evaluates Blood Flow – Assesses circulation in the fetal heart using advanced Doppler imaging.
- • Guides Pregnancy & Delivery Planning – Helps doctors plan appropriate care and delivery if any condition is detected.
- • Improves Treatment Outcomes – Early diagnosis allows better preparation for postnatal treatment and interventions.
