A fetal echocardiogram is a detailed study of the heart of a developing fetus. Your doctor may request a fetal echocardiogram for a number of different reasons. These may include suspicion of a congenital heart defect, a family history of congenital heart disease, or certain conditions in the mother which may predispose to heart disease such as diabetes or phenylketonuria. A fetal echocardiogram can usually be performed successfully after 18 weeks gestation, occasionally sooner.
The physicians at Pediatric Heart Specialists are experts in fetal echocardiogram perfomance. All our locations throughout Dallas and East Texas have the capability to perform fetal echocardiograms.
Your fetal echocardiogram will be performed in a private room by one of our physicians. Once the study is complete, the doctor will spend as much time as is necessary reviewing the results with you and providing in-depth counseling. We understand that this can be an extremely stressful time for you. Our physicians and office staff will treat you with compassion and understanding and will work hard to make your visit as informative as possible.
