Specialist Fetal Heart Scans | Echocardiography

13 - 22 weeks gestation

We look at the baby’s heart at every scan that we do.

However there are some circumstances in which we may want to have specialist doctors involved in this aspect.

These may include:

• An irregularity in your baby’s heart
• A previous child has been born with heart disease
• A family history of congenital heart problems
• The mother to be has diabetes

A specialist in this area is called a Fetal Cardiologist.

At the London Ultrasound Centre, we are fortunate in being able to call upon the services of Dr John Simpson and Dr Owen Miller from The Fetal and Paediatric Congenital Heart Disease Unit at Guy’s and St Thomas Hospital for additional expertise in this area.

Dr Kyle and Dr Wimalasundera are also experts in pre-natal Fetal Cardiac diagnosis although they are not Fetal Cardiologists their availability may be more suitable.

These scans will normally be performed at The London Ultrasound Centre, however Drs Simpson and Miller are also able to utilise assistance from Guy’s and St Thomas’ as necessary in the total care of you and your baby.
