What is Fetal Echocardiography? – Fetal Echocardiography Overview
Fetal echocardiography uses sound waves (echo) to monitor the child’s heart inside the mother’s womb. It helps to identify the heart defects in the baby, even before birth. Therefore, we can treat heart problems at the right time in the earliest possible stage. It is because:-
•Healthcare professionals can be ready to deal with problems during labor and delivery.
•If there is a chance of early delivery, it can get scheduled.
•In some cases, Healthcare professionals can even treat the problem before birth.
•With the help of Medicine or surgery, the baby is born after the treatment.
