Fetal Echocardiography

Fetal echocardiography is a specialized ultrasound used to examine the heart of a developing fetus during pregnancy. It allows doctors to visualize the heart's structure and function, helping to detect any potential heart defects or abnormalities early on. This non-invasive procedure is typically performed around 18 to 20 weeks of pregnancy and provides essential information about the fetus's health, guiding further care and planning if needed. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of both the mother and the unborn child.
