hi, so i am 19 weeks far and went for anamoly scan, they said everything is completely fine except that they could see single echogenic intracardiac focus, and that it is softarker for chromosonal abnormality, they said combined with double marker and nt scan report risk for us is 1:55951, if there is any expert here who can help me understand this better and how seriously should i take this, it has caused lot of anxiety in me and would really appreciate any help on this
Since your combined risk is 1:55951 there is nothing for you to worry about. further evaluation is needed only for cases where the risk is more than 1:250. In simple words what it means is that the risk for the baby your are carrying of having downs syndrome is less than 1 in 55951. which is indeed a very low risk. so please relax.

a single echogenic intracardiac focus (eif) is seen as a bright dot inside the heart most commonly left ventricle. by itself it can be just a finding n nothing to worry abt which may disappear. but as its one of the markers fr genetic defects, other risk factors such as ur age etc and sonography reports etc have to be considered together to estimate the risk fr a genetic defect. has ur gynec given any other info?<br>
