A baby's heart begins beating just weeks after conception, and ensuring it develops correctly is one of the most critical aspects of prenatal care. At Sai Dhwani Lab Center in Kopar Khairane, Dr. Madhura Deshmukh performs detailed fetal echocardiography with advanced 2D, 3D, and 4D ultrasound imaging, providing accurate cardiac assessment of your baby before birth. With over 10 years of specialized experience in fetal medicine, Dr. Deshmukh brings clinical expertise and compassionate patient care to every fetal echo appointment, giving parents and referring doctors the clearest possible picture of their baby's cardiac health.
Understanding Fetal Echocardiography and What It Examines
Fetal echocardiography, commonly called fetal echo, is a specialized ultrasound examination that focuses exclusively on the baby’s heart. Unlike a routine pregnancy scan that briefly checks the heart as part of a broader assessment, fetal echo is a dedicated, in-depth cardiac evaluation that examines the heart’s structure, chambers, valves, and major blood vessels in detail.The NT scan, or Nuchal Translucency scan, is a specialized first-trimester ultrasound performed between 11 to 13 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy. It measures the fluid-filled space at the back of the baby’s neck, known as the nuchal translucency. When this measurement is larger than normal, it can indicate an increased risk of chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18), and Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13).
Congenital heart defects are among the most common birth abnormalities, affecting approximately 8 in every 1,000 babies born. Many of these conditions can be identified before birth through a carefully performed fetal echo, allowing doctors and parents to plan appropriate medical management, arrange specialist care, and prepare for the safest possible delivery environment.
At Sai Dhwani Lab Center, Dr. Madhura Deshmukh (MBBS, DMRE) performs every fetal echo personally using advanced 2D, 3D, and 4D imaging technology. Her systematic approach to cardiac assessment ensures that every chamber, valve, and vessel is examined thoroughly, and her detailed reports give referring gynecologists and pediatric cardiologists the precise clinical information they need.
When is Fetal Echo Recommended / Is it Right for You
Fetal echocardiography is typically performed between 20 to 24 weeks of pregnancy, when the baby’s heart is developed enough for detailed examination. Dr. Madhura Deshmukh specifically recommends a fetal echo if:
- A routine pregnancy scan or anomaly scan has identified a suspected cardiac abnormality or an unusual finding in the baby's heart
- You have a personal history of congenital heart disease or a previously diagnosed cardiac condition
- A previous child was born with a congenital heart defect, increasing the risk for subsequent pregnancies
- There is a family history of hereditary cardiac conditions or chromosomal syndromes associated with heart defects
- Your NT scan showed an increased nuchal translucency measurement, which is associated with a higher risk of cardiac abnormalities
- You have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, as maternal diabetes is associated with an increased risk of fetal cardiac abnormalities
- You have been taking medications during pregnancy that may affect fetal cardiac development
- You are carrying twins or multiple pregnancies, where cardiac assessment of each baby individually is recommended
- Your gynecologist or obstetrician has specifically referred you for a fetal cardiac evaluation based on clinical findings
Dr. Madhura Deshmukh’s expert assessment ensures that every fetal echo at Sai Dhwani captures a complete and clinically accurate picture of your baby’s cardiac health.
What Fetal Echo Evaluates at Sai Dhwani Lab Center
The fetal echocardiography at Sai Dhwani Lab Center is a thorough and systematic cardiac evaluation. Dr. Madhura Deshmukh examines the following structures and functions during your fetal echo:
- Four-Chamber View: Assessment of all four cardiac chambers — left ventricle, right ventricle, left atrium, and right atrium — checking for symmetry, size, and structural integrity
- Cardiac Valves: Detailed evaluation of the mitral, tricuspid, aortic, and pulmonary valves for proper formation, movement, and function
- Major Vessels: Examination of the aorta, pulmonary artery, and their connections to the heart to identify transposition or abnormal vessel arrangements
- Cardiac Rhythm & Rate: Assessment of the baby's heart rhythm and rate to detect arrhythmias, heart block, or irregular cardiac patterns
- Interventricular Septum: Evaluation of the wall separating the two ventricles to identify ventricular septal defects (VSD), one of the most common congenital heart abnormalities
- Interatrial Septum: Examination of the wall between the two atria for atrial septal defects (ASD)
- Ductus Arteriosus & Foramen Ovale: Assessment of these normal fetal cardiac structures to confirm their expected presence and function
- Colour Doppler Assessment: Real-time color Doppler imaging to visualize blood flow direction, velocity, and patterns through all cardiac chambers and vessels, identifying any abnormal flow patterns
- Cardiac Position & Axis: Confirmation of correct heart position within the chest and normal cardiac axis orientation
Why Choose Sai Dhwani Lab Center for Fetal Echo in Kopar Khairane?
The accuracy of a fetal echo depends entirely on the expertise of the examiner and the quality of the imaging equipment. At Sai Dhwani Lab Center, both meet the highest clinical standards:

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: At what week should the fetal echo be done?
Fetal echocardiography is ideally performed between 20 to 24 weeks of pregnancy. At this stage, the baby's heart is sufficiently developed for a thorough and detailed cardiac evaluation. In certain high-risk cases, an early fetal echo can be performed between 16 to 18 weeks, though image quality and detail are better in the 20 to 24 week window. If your doctor has referred you for a fetal echo, contact Sai Dhwani Lab Center at 8329957076 to book your appointment within the recommended window.
Q2: Is the fetal echo different from the routine heart check done in the anomaly scan?
Yes, they are significantly different. During an anomaly scan, the baby’s heart is checked as one part of a broader structural survey — it is a screening view, not a detailed cardiac examination. A fetal echo is an entirely dedicated cardiac ultrasound that spends the full appointment examining only the heart in complete detail, including colour Doppler blood flow assessment. If a concern is identified during an anomaly scan, a fetal echo is the appropriate next step for a thorough cardiac evaluation.
Q3: Is fetal echocardiography safe for the baby?
Yes, completely safe. Fetal echocardiography uses the same ultrasound technology as all other pregnancy scans — sound waves with no radiation involved. The procedure is non-invasive, painless for the mother, and has no known risks for the baby. It has been used safely in obstetric cardiac assessment for decades and is recommended by gynecologists and fetal medicine specialists worldwide.
Q4: What if the fetal echo identifies a cardiac abnormality?
If Dr. Madhura Deshmukh identifies a cardiac concern during the fetal echo, she will explain the findings clearly and provide a detailed written report. Depending on the finding, your gynecologist may refer you to a pediatric cardiologist for further evaluation and counseling. Early detection of a cardiac abnormality before birth is actually a significant advantage — it gives doctors and parents time to plan the appropriate delivery environment, arrange specialist neonatal care, and prepare for any intervention the baby may need after birth.
Q5: How long does the fetal echo take at Sai Dhwani?
A comprehensive fetal echo at Sai Dhwani Lab Center typically takes between 30 to 45 minutes. The duration can vary depending on the baby’s position, movement, and the complexity of the findings. Dr. Madhura Deshmukh takes the time required for a complete and thorough cardiac evaluation — the quality of assessment is never compromised for speed.
