What is 2D Echocardiography?

Ultrasound of the heart is commonly called an “echocardiogram” or “echo” for short.

A 2D echocardiogram provides your physician with information like the functioning of your heart, diagnosing the malfunctions, if any, and planning the treatment for the developing disease.

2D Echocardiogram is done to detect the following heart conditions:

• Any underlying heart diseases or abnormalities

• Congenital heart diseases and blood clots or tumours

• Malfunctioning of the heart valve

• Abnormality of blood flow within the heart

2D Echo Procedure

During a 2D echocardiography procedure, a healthcare provider will place a small transducer on the patient’s chest. The transducer sends and receives high-frequency sound waves, which create an image of the heart utilising an advanced 2D echo machine. The images are displayed on a screen, allowing the healthcare provider to evaluate the heart’s size, shape, and function.

• An echocardiogram is called as an echo, 2D echo, echocardiography or cardiac ultrasound. It is an ultrasound test that helps in getting to more about the heart. A transducer probe is used to transmit sound waves into the heart. These sound waves are then reflected or bounce off the heart.

• In Nidhi hospital 2D ECHO is performed by experienced cardiologist round the clock.
