Nipt and NT scan

Hi, is it necessary to take NT scan on top of nipt? We wanted to do nipt (11 weeks) and gynae said to do NT scan ( at 13 weeks) because nipt cannot check for any heart anomalies. My previous pregnancy only did oscar but want to do nipt now due to age.

I think NIPT is sufficient, no need to do NT scan since there will be another 20 week scan where you can see heart anomalies also. NIPT has a much higher accuracy than NT scan.
