Fetal Cardiology and Fetal Echo-Cardiology is a relatively new field in India and has a major impact on the clinical practice of Sonologists, Obstetricians and Pediatricians. During Pregnancy, normal ultrasound is carried out as general practice but there are certain congenital diseases which are not visible in normal ultrasound and can thus get ignored. The need is therefore to get early screening and detection of any fetal cardiac defect for appropriate future decisions to be made. A fetal echo is an evaluation done via ultrasound to assess the heart of the unborn baby.

Community Awareness About CHD.

The fact that 180000 to 200000 children are born each year in India with a type of congenital heart disease and 30% of these children require treatment in the first year of their life, poor and young parents who have just started jobs and families find it impossible to organise treatment expenses which can run into lakhs. They end up losing their children as the waiting period at Government hospitals is too long. Through CHF HRIDAAN™, it registers the patient after the final diagnosis and approximate estimated costs are worked out. The registration process involves address proof, income certificate and identity proof documents of the parent/guardian to be certified by the local Government authorizing authority.

There are approximately 180000 to 200000 children born with congenital heart diseases( CHD), and only 15000 get treated, the rest don’t survive or are added to past years' pool of waitlisted children. 1 child is born in every 100 live births with CHD There are less than 50 centres with pediatric cardiac services and capability of infant and neonatal care. Unfortunately, the majority of these are a part of ‘For Profit Institutions’ and less than 10 are in the Government sector. The scarcity of centres, specialists and lack of awareness regarding these diseases in the community makes it a disease responsible for high infant and child mortality in our country. This leads to delays in screening, diagnosis and treatment and ultimately risk to life and family trauma as a whole.
