Expectant mothers have been filled with maternal love since knowing that a little life is being nurtured in their bodies, waiting happily for the arrival of this little life. The health of the fetus also affects the entire family. And there are countless examination items throughout the entire pregnancy, and fetal cardiac ultrasound examination is one of them. What is fetal cardiac ultrasound used to detect?
Fetal cardiac ultrasound examination is mainly used to examine the fetal heart. The development of the fetal heart can be judged by this examination. To determine whether there is congenital heart disease, fetal cardiac ultrasound examination can be performed around 24-30 weeks. The examination should not exceed 30 weeks. After 30 weeks, the large size of the fetus may affect the examination results. If you want to check if your child has congenital heart disease, you should go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner within the examination time range.
The decision to perform fetal cardiac ultrasound depends on the specific situation of the pregnant woman's prenatal examination. If pregnant women participate in regular prenatal check ups on time and there are no abnormal results, there is no need to undergo fetal cardiac ultrasound.
If a pregnant woman has not undergone 4D ultrasound examination during pregnancy or if abnormal conditions are found in the baby's heart after undergoing 4D ultrasound examination, fetal cardiac ultrasound is still necessary.
