In Tiffa scan detailed study of heart is not done. It is for screening. Feral echo will do detailed study of heart. In case of high risk pregnancy it is required.

If fetal heart is normal. No need of fetal echo but if you have diabetes in pregnancy or previous abortions or if previous baby or any family member had got heart disease better to do.
