Fetal Cardiac Anomaly / Fetal Echo Price in Bangladesh

What is Fetal Cardiac Anomaly / Fetal Echo?

Fetal cardiac anomaly or fetal echocardiography is a specialized ultrasound used to assess the heart's structure and function of a fetus during pregnancy. It is typically performed between 18-24 weeks of gestation, especially if there is a concern for congenital heart defects, such as abnormal heart chambers, valves, or blood vessels.

The procedure uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the fetus's heart, checking for conditions like arrhythmias or structural malformations. The test is non-invasive, safe, and provides critical information about the fetus's heart health, helping guide prenatal care and preparation for potential interventions after birth.

What to expect & how to prepare

An ultrasound scan uses high-frequency sound waves to look at organs, vessels or a pregnancy in real time. A sonologist applies gel to the skin and moves a probe over the area. Nothing is injected.

• Preparation varies by body part: some scans need a full bladder, some need a few hours without food, and many need nothing at all. Ask the centre which applies to your scan when you book.
• Clothing: wear something loose that gives easy access to the area being scanned.
• Bring earlier reports: previous scans help the sonologist compare findings.

Ultrasound uses no ionising radiation, which is why it is the routine choice in pregnancy.

Performed by a sonologist or radiologist; most centres ask for the referring doctor's advice so the right area is scanned.
