Hello doctor. Doctor let me ask, if the fetal heart rate index is 0.58, will it have any effect on the baby? Ask your doctor for advice. Thank you doctor!

Hello. Cardiothoracic index is the ratio between the width of the heart's shadow and the size of the chest, as determined on radiographs. In infants, this index < 0.6; older children and adults <0.5.
You should have an examination and echocardiogram at medical facilities or go to Vinmec Hospital for a doctor to fully evaluate and advise you more carefully.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
