Book your Fetal Echo Twins examination at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL- and NABH-accredited diagnostic centre that offers advanced diagnostic imaging services. Fetal echocardiography is a specialised ultrasound test that is performed to assess the structure of the heart, fetal heart rhythm, and the flow of blood in the developing twin babies during pregnancy. We employ a variety of imaging techniques as well as cutting-edge ultrasound technology to get a detailed image of the baby's heart. When the treating physician advises a detailed evaluation of fetuses, information gained from the examination is used to monitor the pregnancy.
About Fetal Echo Twins
Fetal Echo Twins is a special fetal echocardiogram test performed in a twin pregnancy to evaluate the cardiac structure and function of both fetuses. Each fetus’s heart is assessed separately to evaluate its structure and function. It is an advanced ultrasound that provides a detailed image of the fetal heart and associated blood vessels. These results are compared with previous ultrasound evaluations, prenatal history, and other clinical data.
What is Fetal Echo for Twins?
Fetal Echocardiography for Twins is a non-invasive ultrasound procedure that provides a detailed image of the developing baby's heart. This test is done on an individual fetus basis and involves the evaluation of the chambers of the heart, the valves, the major vessels, cardiac rhythm, heart rate, and blood flow. If necessary, Doppler ultrasound is also performed in order to assess fetal blood flow into the heart and major blood vessels. Babies are examined for slightly different durations of time depending on the fetal position, gestational age, fetal movement, and image quality.
Common Reasons for Fetal Echo Twins
Detailed assessment of both fetal hearts
Evaluation of fetal cardiac development in twin pregnancy
Assessment following an abnormal or unclear finding on routine ultrasound
Evaluation when there is a suspected fetal heart abnormality
Assessment based on maternal or family medical history
Detailed cardiac evaluation when recommended by the treating doctor
Monitoring of pregnancies requiring specialised fetal assessment
Evaluation of heart rhythm and blood flow when clinically indicated
Conditions Evaluated
Congenital Heart Abnormalities
Fetal echocardiography can help assess the developing structures of both fetal hearts and identify findings that may require further evaluation.
Abnormal Cardiac Development
The examination provides detailed views of the chambers, valves, vessels, and other cardiac structures to assess their development.
Heart Rhythm Abnormalities
The heart rate and rhythm of each fetus can be observed during the examination to identify findings that may require clinical attention.
Blood Flow Abnormalities
Doppler imaging can provide information about blood flow through the fetal heart and major vessels when required.
Suspected Cardiac Findings
Fetal echocardiography may be advised when a previous ultrasound or clinical assessment raises a concern requiring more detailed cardiac imaging.
Who Should Consider This Scan?
Your doctor may recommend a Fetal Echo Twins examination if you:
Are carrying twins and require detailed fetal cardiac assessment
Have an abnormal or unclear finding on a previous ultrasound
Have a pregnancy requiring specialised fetal monitoring
Have a suspected cardiac abnormality in one or both fetuses
Require detailed assessment based on maternal or family history
Need further evaluation of fetal heart rate, rhythm, or blood flow

Our radiology team provides detailed ultrasound assessment of both fetal hearts to support the evaluation of cardiac structure, function, rhythm, and blood flow during twin pregnancy when recommended by the treating doctor.
Test information: Fasting NOT required.
Reporting: Within 24 hours*
Fetal echocardiography generally does not require fasting or any special preparation.
Follow any specific instructions provided by your treating doctor or the diagnostic team.
Carry previous ultrasound reports, fetal scans, and relevant pregnancy records for comparison.
Inform the radiology team about any known pregnancy-related concerns or previous abnormal ultrasound findings.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the abdomen.
Arrive on time so that adequate time can be given to assess both fetuses separately.
Drink water or maintain a comfortably filled bladder only if specifically advised by your doctor or diagnostic centre.
भ्रूण हृदय की जांच के लिए आमतौर पर खाली पेट रहने या किसी विशेष तैयारी की आवश्यकता नहीं होती है।
अपने डॉक्टर या जांच केंद्र की टीम द्वारा दिए गए किसी विशेष निर्देश का पालन करें।
तुलना और चिकित्सकीय जानकारी के लिए पिछली अल्ट्रासाउंड रिपोर्ट, भ्रूण की जांच रिपोर्ट और गर्भावस्था से संबंधित आवश्यक दस्तावेज साथ लाएं।
यदि गर्भावस्था के दौरान कोई विशेष समस्या रही है या पिछली अल्ट्रासाउंड जांच में कोई असामान्य निष्कर्ष आया है, तो इसकी जानकारी जांच टीम को दें।
ऐसे आरामदायक कपड़े पहनें जिनसे पेट की जांच आसानी से की जा सके।
समय पर पहुंचें, ताकि दोनों भ्रूणों के हृदय की अलग-अलग और पर्याप्त रूप से विस्तृत जांच की जा सके।
पानी पीने या मूत्राशय को भरा रखने की आवश्यकता केवल तभी है जब डॉक्टर या जांच केंद्र द्वारा ऐसा करने की सलाह दी गई हो।
The patient’s pregnancy history, gestational age, previous ultrasound findings, and relevant medical information are reviewed before the examination.
The patient is positioned comfortably, usually lying on an examination table with the abdomen exposed.
Ultrasound gel is applied to the abdomen, and a specialised ultrasound transducer is gently moved over the abdominal area.
Each fetus is assessed separately to obtain detailed images of the developing heart.
The examination evaluates the fetal heart chambers, valves, major blood vessels, heart rate, rhythm, and overall cardiac structure.
Doppler ultrasound may be used when required to assess blood flow through the fetal heart and major blood vessels.
The duration of examination may vary depending on the position of each fetus, gestational age, fetal movement, and the quality of the available images.
Findings are correlated with previous ultrasound examinations, prenatal history, and other relevant clinical information.
The examination is non-invasive and uses ultrasound waves without ionising radiation.
