Question : Cardiac activity absent in 11 week fetus . Reasons ?
Brief Answer:
Most likely dead foetus or a mistake by Sonologist
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If the heart beat is absent at 11 weeks on Scan most likely the foetus is dead if the observer had not made a mistake.
The reasons for death are many but mainly thought to be chromosomal anamoly.
