Patient's question:
Around the 22 weeks of pregnancy, I had an ultrasound examination at the hospital for fetal anomaly screening. The obstetrician made a diagnosis stating that the fetal heart rhythm was very irregular during the examination, and some point-like strong echoes were visible in the left ventricle. The doctor recommended a follow-up echocardiogram. Additionally, the examination showed HC to be 19.9 cm, while the AC value was 18.0 cm.What kind of help do you need: How much does an echocardiogram cost?
Doctor's answer:
This may not be consistent across different regions, with an approximate cost of around 180 yuan. Echocardiography is the only instrument that can dynamically display the internal structures of the heart chambers, the heartbeat, and blood flow, and it causes no harm to the human body. The heart probe is like the lens of a camera. As the probe rotates, the various structures of the heart are clearly displayed on the screen. For example, congenital heart disease, with more than 100 types of deformities, can all be displayed using echocardiography.
