It usually is nothing if found alone without any other abnormalities.
Do a foetal 2 d echo at 28-32 weeks.

Echogenic foci in fetal heart is minor marker for syndromes. Please make sure the screening ultrasound is done properly and also the biochemical testing . Still if everything is normal , go for fetal echo at 22-24 weeks
