Glenn... This is scientifically and medically incorrect. 100%.
Ultrasound can't detect electrical activity. Who told you otherwise?

The NPR link you cited is WRONG.
I wrote extensively about it at the time.
Ultrasound only detects density and motion. It cannot detect any electrical activity at all. This is a scientific fact.

It is true that the valves in the heart develop later.
However, the cardiac muscles that are located in the embryological heart are contracting. They are in fact moving inward and outward. That is how you define a beat.

If the beat the same as a fully grown adult beat? Of course not. We're talking early and biological development. However, the cardiac tissue is contracting, which is literally what a beat is. To say otherwise is scientific misinformation, and cannot be treated otherwise.
I recommend @GlennKesslerWP you largely delete this post, completely correct it with somebody who knows the science and actually understands what they are talking about, and issue an apology because this is really a pathetic scientific document.
I can't believe I have to report a fact checker to Twitter for misinformation. This is what we've come to.
Here is a science primer for people that want to understand how ultrasound works, from the NCBI.
NOTE THAT THEY NEVER DISCUSS ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY IN THE BODY.
