A Fetal Echo (Fetal Echocardiography) is a specialized ultrasound that focuses on your baby’s heart, usually done between 18 to 24 weeks of pregnancy. At Shree Diagnostics, Howrah, this scan is performed by expert Radiologists trained in fetal cardiac imaging, ensuring safe, accurate, and early detection of any heart-related conditions.
It is one of the most important tests for assessing fetal heart structure, rhythm, and function during pregnancy.
What Is a Fetal Echo?
A Fetal Echo is a detailed ultrasound that examines:
- The structure of all four chambers of the fetal heart
- Blood flow through the valves
- Major arteries and veins
- Rhythm & heartbeat
- Early signs of congenital heart defects
It helps detect heart problems before birth, allowing better guidance and planning for delivery and postnatal care.
Why Doctors Recommend a Fetal Echo
A fetal echocardiography is advised if:
- Previous pregnancy had heart abnormalities
- Mother has diabetes, thyroid, or autoimmune conditions
- Pregnancy achieved through IVF/IUI
- Family history of congenital heart disease
- Abnormal NT scan or anomaly scan findings
- Irregular fetal heart rate detected
- Medication exposure during pregnancy
- Twin or high-risk pregnancy
Even without risk factors, many gynecologists recommend it for reassurance.
