Fetal Echo Web - Fetal Cardiology Scan

Fetal echocardiography is done to look into detail morphology and function of fetal heart. The best time to do fetal echocardiography is between 20-22 weeks.

At Care IVF we are even performing early fetal echocardiography at 15-16 weeks in cases of high index of suspicion ("HIS" approach).

The following are the indications of fetal echocardiography :

Maternal indication:

Family history of cardiac anomaly

Pre existing metabolic disease(e.g.diabetes)

Maternal infection (e.g. TORCH, Parvovirus etc.)

Cardiac teratogenic exposure (e.g. Antiepileptic drugs, Lithium etc.)

Maternal autoimmune disease (e.g. SLE)

Fetal indication :

Abnormal Nuchal translucency.

Abnormal fetal karyotype.

Major extra cardiac anomaly.

Suspected fetal heart anomaly.

Rate and rhythm disturbance.
