Echogenic focus/: Can be entirely normal. Your doctor may suggest additional testing to assure that that is the case.

See below: It is a non-specific term reflecting an area of the heart that might have increased minieralization, and so show up more on an echo. Can be found in normal hearts at a rate of about 3%. There may be some association with genetic abnormalities, but it is called a "soft finding" that is to say inconclusive.
