Fetal Echocardiography Scan

At every scan we perform from 11 weeks we will always look at the baby’s heart. However under certain circumstances a more detailed evaluation of the baby’s heart by a paediatric cardiologist may be required. The indications include:

Your detailed scan shows that there may be an abnormality of your baby's heart
Either parent or a previous child has a congenital heart abnormality
You have a condition such as diabetes or a connective tissue disorder
Suspected abnormality at 11-14 week scan or an increased amount of fluid behind your baby’s neck – this is called increased nuchal translucency (3.5mm or more)
You are on medication, for example, for epilepsy or depression
Your baby has an abnormal heart beat

How much does it cost?

Please note that we are led by a team of highly skilled specialist doctors that offer diagnosis and treatment of complications which may arise in unborn babies. All your scans will be performed by our experienced fetal medicine consultants. We do not offer scans performed by sonographers or fellows. The service we provide by consultants offer screening, diagnosis and management of your pregnancy to the highest standards.
