Fetal Echocardiography (Fetal Echo) at Vardhan Fertility Centre
Advanced Prenatal Heart Screening for a Healthy Start
Fetal Echocardiography, commonly called Fetal Echo, is a specialized ultrasound performed to evaluate your baby’s heart while still in the womb. At Vardhan Fertility Centre, we provide advanced fetal cardiac screening to detect congenital heart conditions early—ensuring your baby receives timely care and the best possible outcome.
Fetal Echo is a high-resolution ultrasound performed between 18 to 24 weeks of pregnancy to examine the structure, function, and rhythm of the baby’s heart. It is similar to a standard pregnancy ultrasound but focuses specifically on the development of the fetal heart and major blood vessels.
