After the echo, the result of the study will be communicated and in case of abnormal fetal echo, a consultation to pediatric cardiologist can be taken. A pediatric cardiologist can help to understand the meaning of the findings and nature of the diagnosis made.. The cardiologist will explain the natural history of the defect as well as assist in planning and preparation for the remainder of the pre- and postnatal care your baby will require.
Some of these findings might be benign and may be self-limiting in some cases. Some of the issues might be correctable as well while other may be significant defects.
The cardiologist will then discuss the findings with your obstetrician or perinatalogist to ensure optimal care throughout.
