    Echogenic foci within the left ventricle of the heart have been found in a minority of fetuses and generally are believed to be a normal variant. The cause and exact location of these foci have remained speculative, however.

    I found this from a google search. It is from a journal of ultrasound. Just type in echogenic left ventricle of the heart and it is the first article. I hope this helps. Unfortunately I have no personal experience to add.

    Thanks everyone,

    I really just looking for someone else on BB who has had this happen to them. I have googled and found a lot of things but also found its related to D/S and I know my OB is not worried but I guess I just need to speak to people and hear their stories but no-one on BB seems to have had this happen to them.

    I know Jellybean's heart is the size of my thumb nail, this echogenic dot is the size of a grain of sand. I remember saying to the u/s lady what was that white spec on the heart can't really remember what she said.

    I guess i am just worried about there being more or it getting bigger or other things happening down the track.

    Paranoid I know.
