A Brief About Fetal Echocardiography

Fetal echocardiography test is very much similar to an ultrasound test. A fetal echocardiography exam allows your doctor to have a clear idea about the structure and function of the heart of your unborn child. This test is typically done in the second trimester which is between 18 to 24 weeks.

A fetal echocardiography exam uses sound waves. These sound waves “echo” off the structures of the heart of the fetus. A machine analyzes these sound waves. A picture or echocardiogram of the interior of the heart is created with the help of this test. This image provides valuable information to your doctor on how your baby’s heart is formed and also on whether the heart is functioning properly.

It also helps your doctor to see if the blood is flowing properly through the heart of the fetus. This in-depth look allows your doctor to find if there are any abnormalities in the baby’s blood flow or in the baby’s heartbeat.

When is a Fetal echocardiography Test Ordered? 

A fetal echocardiography scan is not needed for all pregnant women. For most pregnant women, a basic ultrasound test is sufficient. A basic ultrasound test will show the development of all four chambers of their baby’s heart in most women.

Your OB-GYN may recommend you have an early fetal echocardiography test done if previous tests weren’t conclusive. It may also be ordered if an abnormal heartbeat has been detected in the fetus.

You may also need this test in any one of the following conditions:

• There is a risk of heart abnormality or other disorder in your unborn child
• You have a genetic risk of a heart disease
• You have previously given birth to a child who has a heart condition
• You have consumed drugs
• You have consumed alcohol during your pregnancy
• You have taken certain medications in the past or you have been exposed to medications that can cause heart defects. These medications may include epilepsy drugs or prescription acne drugs
• You have other medical conditions which may include diabetes or any other chronic disease

In some cases, an OB-GYN may perform this test. In most of the cases an experienced ultrasound technician, or a sonographer will perform the test. The results of an advanced fetal echocardiography test are usually reviewed by a cardiologist who specializes in pediatric medicine.
