EIF in baby's heart during Anomaly scan
Found an isolated EIF in the baby's heart during anomaly scan. Scanning specialist and doctor said not to worry about it as it's an isolated finding.
NT scan reports and Double market test reports normal, and no gestational diabetes.
Still got a fetal echo done though doctor said it's not required just for the sake of mental peace. Fetal echo report is also normal.
Is there anything for me to worry about? This is my first pregnancy, so please don't judge for being paranoid.

An echogenic focus in the heart muscle is a fairly common finding. It needs no treatment. All that you have to do is to tell the Paediatrician about it so that a 2D Echo can be done when it is technically possible.
If we go to the theoretical considerations, well it is a soft marker for some foetal anomalies. The things will be clear when you get TIFFA done.
