Slightly increased LV

I’m not sure what slightly increased LV means. I got checked for reduced movements (everything was ok) and then I had a growth scan ultrasound on the same day as this is the second time I’ve been checked for movements so they wanted to double check everything ok and from the results of that it says my baby has a ‘slightly increased LV just above 95th percentile’. Does this mean there could be a heart defect? I’m panicking now that something is wrong :(
many thanks if anyone knows what this could mean

Hi, I’m a midwife sonographer. If you look further up on the report they have written that the amniotic fluid is slightly increased so I think the LV they are referring to is likely ‘liquor volume’, liquor is just a different word for amniotic fluid. It looks like it’s only slightly increased so I wouldn’t get too worried for now, they’ll probably just check it again and hopefully it will return to normal and if not they may need to investigate further.

Thank you so much, that makes sense now :) I had a glucose test for diabetes a few days ago so hopefully that comes back okay and then have another scan so fingers crossed everything goes back to normal :)
