Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does Having A Predominant Left Ventricle In Fetus Mean?
Hi. I am 30 weeks, 4 days pregnant with my first child. A little girl we are naming Reese. I had an ultrasound done last Tuesday, and followed up on Friday. The doctor told me that the sonographer found a predominant left ventricle. She then said its not larger or protruding, it is only assymetrical, so she is referring us to a specialist. That appointment is not until November 3rd. She said everything was probably fine and not to worry. But naturally. as a first time mother and a pediatric occuoational therapist by trade, I am worried.
Hello In fetus right ventricle is the prominent ventricle. An experienced fetal sonologist or echocardiographer can detect the defect.If left ventricle is enlarged it is an abnormal finding. Many a times sonographer assessment is not accurate.Conditions like single ventricle or persistent truncus can cause dilated left ventricle.So I would suggest you to consult an expert for the proper evaluation. Regards
