Echogenic focus

I'm 18 weeks pregnant. In my 18 week ultrasound, echogenic focus is found in the left ventricle of the foetus. Although my gynec said it's nothing to be worried about I just wanted an opinion so posting it here. Thanks.

Echogenic foci in fetal heart is minor marker for syndromes. Please make sure the screening ultrasound is done properly and also the biochemical testing . Still if everything is normal , go for fetal echo at 22-24 weeks

It usually is nothing if found alone without any other abnormalities. Do a foetal 2 d echo at 28-32 weeks.
