Its called as echogenic focus in heart
Its a soft marker for some genetic diseases like Down syndrome
Its not a disease of heart
Just like we have mole on face , its just a spot in heart.
If its associated with some abnormality in level two anamoly scan , you should consult genetic specialists.
Isolated echogenic focus have no significance
So chill ..!!
Next Steps
If level two scan is normal apart from white spot
No further tests required
