Can four dimensions see if a child has heart disease?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. Can a 4D ultrasound detect if the child has heart disease?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after the 16th week of pregnancy, you can monitor the development of the fetal heart through regular 4D ultrasound examinations. It is recommended to have regular ultrasound or 4D ultrasound check-ups at the 16th week, 28th week, and 36th week of pregnancy to dynamically observe the maturation of the fetal heart.
It is possible that it failed. You should go to the hospital for a blood test or an ultrasound to check if it was successful. If implantation fails, you may experience spotting. If the fetus is developing well, you may need to take medication to stimulate progesterone secretion.
