an echogenic intracardiac focus is not an uncommon finding. majority of the times we let it go, esp when they r very small n single (commonest seen in left ventricle). <br>
iurn some cases this is considered as a marker for some genetic anomalies. ur doc will evaluate whether u r at highrisk for any anomalies in which case u may need further testing. else just follow-up. mostly they disappear on their own. <br>
risk stratification, presence of any higj risk factors, scan findings to be taken into account. discuss with ur doc.<br>
why did u need  so many scans? there is no known effect of ultrasound on fetus, but the rule is to limit its use whenever possible. no unnecessary scans must b performed.
