Advanced Foetal 2D Echo at BIOCHECK DIAGNOSTICS

A healthy pregnancy is every parent’s dream—and ensuring your baby’s heart is developing normally is one of the most important steps in prenatal care. At Biocheck Diagnostics & Polyclinic, Goregaon, our Advanced Foetal 2D Echo service provides expecting parents with a reliable, accurate, and detailed evaluation of their baby’s heart during pregnancy.

Foetal 2D Echocardiography is a specialized ultrasound performed to examine the structure and function of a baby’s heart. It is especially valuable when a potential risk factor is identified, such as family history of heart defects, maternal diabetes, abnormal NT scan, or irregular fetal rhythm. At Biocheck Diagnostics, our goal is to offer early, precise assessment using the latest technology—ensuring peace of mind for every expectant mother.

What Is a Foetal 2D Echo?

A Foetal 2D Echo is an advanced ultrasound test that evaluates the developing fetal heart in detail. Unlike a regular pregnancy ultrasound, this test focuses entirely on the baby’s heart chambers, valves, blood flow, rhythm, and overall cardiac function. It helps detect:

• Congenital heart defects
• Abnormal blood flow patterns
• Rhythm irregularities
• Structural abnormalities
• Heart chamber growth issues

Early detection gives doctors valuable time to plan safe delivery and post-birth care.

Why Is Foetal 2D Echo Important?

Many heart conditions in newborns may not show symptoms until after birth. A fetal echo helps identify problems early, allowing for timely interventions. This test is especially recommended if:

• There is a family history of congenital heart disease
• Mother has diabetes, hypertension, rubella infection, or autoimmune disorders
• IVF pregnancy
• Abnormalities in routine scans
• Increased NT measurement
• Mother is taking certain medications
• Multiple pregnancy (twins/triplets)

Early detection leads to better preparedness and better outcomes.

What to Expect During the Test?

A Foetal 2D Echo usually takes 20–40 minutes, depending on the baby’s position. It is a completely safe, non-invasive procedure. During the scan:

• Ultrasound gel is applied on your abdomen
• The transducer gently moves to capture heart images
• Real-time images of the baby’s heart are analyzed
• No preparation or fasting is required

Once complete, the radiologist prepares your report and explains the findings.

When Should You Get a Foetal 2D Echo Done?

Most doctors recommend getting the test between 18 to 24 weeks of pregnancy, when fetal cardiac structures are well developed. However, it may be suggested earlier or later depending on medical requirements.
