What is the cause of small bright spots in the left ventricle during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

The image shows enhanced small bright spots visible in the left ventricle.
The help needed: I want to ask if it's normal? Will the child have any problems?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, first of all, your child's development is normal. The examination shows two in the left ventricle of the fetus. This could be caused by strong echo reflections formed by thickened chordae tendineae. As the pregnancy progresses, most of the strong echo points will gradually become blurred, shrink, or even disappear.
Additionally, the volume of both kidneys is slightly enlarged. Currently, you don’t need to worry too much, as this could be normal. You are 30 weeks pregnant, and you should have a follow-up examination in two weeks. It is possible that the strong echo points will gradually disappear in the test results. Just focus on strengthening your nutrition and getting enough rest.
