A fetal echocardiogram, or fetal cardiology ultrasound, helps us evaluate the baby’s heart development and function, identifying possible heart anomalies and ensuring appropriate monitoring during pregnancy.
A fetal echocardiogram or fetal cardiology ultrasound is a specialized imaging test that focuses on examining the developing baby’s heart. This study provides detailed information about the structure and function of the heart.
The fetal cardiology ultrasound is generally performed from the 15th week of pregnancy, when the baby’s heart is sufficiently developed for a detailed evaluation.
Some basic measures help us get better baby photos, such as going to the bathroom to urinate to empty the bladder before the study, and not eating immediately before the consultation.
No, ultrasound is completely safe for your pregnancy and for the baby.
This ultrasound is used to ensure that the baby’s heart is developing correctly. It evaluates blood flow patterns and detects any structural or functional anomalies that may need follow-up or medical intervention.
The fetal echocardiogram helps identify congenital heart problems, such as septal defects, heart valve issues, and other structural anomalies that could affect the baby’s health.
In the office, you will lie on the examination table, and we will ask you to expose your abdomen so that we can apply the gel that facilitates the movement of the transducer.
This device, essential in any ultrasound, allows us to obtain baby images. Our maternal-fetal doctors analyze the images in real-time and explain to you how the baby’s development and well-being are progressing.
Generally, the duration of the procedure is approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
No, it is not an invasive method. Being an ultrasound study, it poses no risk to your pregnancy or baby. No needles, incisions, or any other type of intervention in the body are required.
No anesthesia is applied for this procedure. It is painless and does not cause discomfort other than a slight sensation of cold caused by the gel.
While we perform the ultrasound, you and your companion can see the baby in real time. During the procedure, our maternal-fetal doctors will explain the findings to you.
Within 24 to 48 hours, we will send an official written report with the conclusions and all the images we took of the baby to your email and your doctor’s.

It is performed between the 11th and 14th week, and with it, we can know how many weeks of pregnancy you have and if there is a risk of Down Syndrome.
It is a blood test that detects two placental hormones; it improves the detection of Down Syndrome, Preeclampsia, and growth restriction.
During the second trimester, we carefully evaluate your baby's organs.
It provides information about the baby's growth, position, and the state of the placenta and amniotic fluid.
Our equipment offers images of greater clarity and resolution, which allows you to get to know your baby on a deeper level.
Allows for the evaluation of the baby's heart development and function, identifying possible heart anomalies and ensuring appropriate monitoring during pregnancy.
It consists of extracting amniotic fluid by means of an ultrasound-guided needle. It is performed after 15 weeks for the prenatal diagnosis of genetic disorders.
It is a procedure in which a small placenta sample is obtained under ultrasound control. It is performed between 10 and 14 weeks to diagnose genetic diseases.
It is a test that evaluates the behavior of your baby's heart and helps us determine if its oxygen supply is adequate.
It allows you to rule out chromosomal alterations in your baby, such as Down syndrome, using a blood sample from the mother.
