Fetal Echocardiography
Fetal Echocardiography at Varad Diagnostic Center
At Varad Diagnostic Center, we offer Fetal Echocardiography, a specialized ultrasound examination that assesses the developing baby’s heart during pregnancy. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Amol Abasaheb Khodade, our advanced imaging technology ensures early detection of congenital heart conditions, helping parents and doctors make informed decisions for the baby’s health.
What is Fetal Echocardiography?
Fetal Echocardiography is a high-resolution ultrasound test designed to evaluate the structure, function, and rhythm of a baby’s heart before birth. This test is usually recommended between 18 to 24 weeks of pregnancy if:
- There is a family history of congenital heart disease.
- The mother has diabetes, hypertension, or autoimmune disorders.
- Abnormalities are detected in a routine pregnancy ultrasound.
- The fetus shows irregular heartbeat or growth concerns.
- The mother has taken certain medications that may affect fetal heart development.
How Does the Test Work?
During the scan, high-frequency sound waves create detailed images of the fetal heart. This allows Dr. Amol Abasaheb Khodade to assess:
- The heart chambers, valves, and blood vessels.
- The heartbeat and blood circulation within the fetus.
- Any structural or functional abnormalities.
The test is completely safe, painless, and non-invasive, ensuring no harm to the baby or the mother.
