18 weeks pregnant with calcified nodules should fetal echocardiography?

This is an automatically translated article.

Question
Doctor,
I had a pregnancy ultrasound at 13 weeks, all indicators were normal, at 18 weeks pregnant, there was a calcification of the mitral valve column 3.5mm. The doctor asked me if the 18-week-old fetus has calcified nodules, should I have fetal echocardiography? Will the calcification go away? Is it dangerous to the development of the fetus? Thank you.

Answer
Hello!
In case of 18-week-old fetus with calcified nodules, you should have a fetal echocardiogram to check. If only based on calcified nodules, it is not possible to conclude whether it affects the development of the fetus or not. Fetal echocardiography to determine if there are congenital heart defects, or just hyperechoic nodules without abnormalities
