What is "fetal echocardiography"?

Fetal echocardiography is a specialized ultrasound test used to examine the heart of a developing baby while still in the womb. This test provides detailed images of the baby's heart, allowing doctors to check for any structural or functional problems. It is often done if there are concerns about the baby's heart health, such as a family history of heart conditions or abnormalities seen in other scans. Fetal echocardiography helps in diagnosing and planning treatment for heart issues before birth, aiming to ensure the best possible care for the baby.
