Echogenic intracardiac focus
We're having our first baby, and during our L2 scan we found that baby is having echogenic intracardiac focus in the left ventricle.
My wife Dual marker test were all at low risk. Please let us know if we need to be worried about this ?
Doctor has recommended us to get the fetal echo done.
And with all the blogs I read it says there could be a slightest chance of baby born with Down syndrome.
Please help.
