Brief Answer:
You can go for level 2 ultrasound and NIPT test

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

As your report says EIF in left ventricle which is a soft marker for down syndrome, you should go for further evaluation and management.

Get your NIPT test and second level ultrasound to rule out any congenital abnormalities in your baby.
