Patient's question:
Here is the English translation of the provided text:I had a 23-week 4D ultrasound on Thursday. The four-chamber view showed a strong light point with a diameter of about 1.9mm in the left ventricle. What is it? Do I need to have non-invasive testing? Is the problem serious?
Doctor's answer:
If there is a strong echogenic focus in the left ventricle alone. In this case, it is advisable to wait and see. If your Down syndrome screening results are low-risk, and there is only a strong echo spot in the left ventricle, this situation can also be carefully monitored. However, if the Down syndrome screening indicates a high risk or reaches the normal threshold, it is recommended to undergo non-invasive testing. The condition detected by the 4D color Doppler ultrasound is severe, and it is advised that the patient seek immediate medical treatment in accordance with the doctor's recommendations. It is also important to pay attention to dietary issues, avoiding spicy foods to prevent worsening the condition. The above advice is hoped to assist you. Thank you.
