EIF on right ventricle

2025-09-11 09:32:27
Hi, In my 20th week anomaly scan, there was an isolated EIF in the right ventricle. My NT and double marker have come back with Low risk. Need we be worried here? What would be the first step?

Isolated echogenic foci in the right ventricle is not of much significance unless associated with any other soft marker or anomaly on the scan. But still to be on the safer side, you can get a fetal echo done at around 24-26 weeks.

Get a fetal ECHO done. The solitary finding of EIF is of lesser significance.
