Patient's question:
At 23 weeks of gestation, a 4D ultrasound was performed, showing data HR: 145 bpm/min. In the MRI findings, it indicated that the fetal heart rate was irregular. What kind of help is needed: I would like to ask if the data is normal? What is the cause of the irregular heart rate? What issues need to be paid attention to?Doctor's answer:
HR refers to fetal heart rate, and the normal range for fetal heart rate is 120-160. Persistent rates higher than 120 or lower than 160 suggest fetal drowning. Irregular fetal heart rate should be considered as a possible sign of fetal heart defects. It is recommended to undergo a detailed 4D color Doppler ultrasound examination to help rule out abnormalities in major fetal organs such as the heart. 4D color Doppler ultrasound can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, dietary issues should be given more attention, with a focus on light and nutritious foods. It is hoped that patients undergoing 4D color Doppler ultrasound examinations can receive professional treatment.
