When is a Fetal Echocardiogram Necessary?

It's not necessary for all women to have one. The routine prenatal ultrasound tests can give information about whether the fetal heart has developed all four chambers. Most unborn babies do not require any further testing.

Echocardiography assesses the heart's structures and function. Fetal echocardiography can help detect heart abnormalities before birth, allowing for faster medical or surgical intervention once the baby is born. This improves the chance of survival after delivery for babies with severe heart defects.
