2D ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY (2D ECHO)

WHAT IS 2D Echocardiography (2d Echo)?

2D Echocardiography (2D Echo) or Two-Dimensional Echocardiography, is a non-invasive, painless imaging technique that allows us to see your heart in action. With the use of high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound), we create real-time, two-dimensional images of your heart. This dynamic visual representation enables our cardiologists to assess the structure, function, and blood flow within your heart with incredible precision.

How does 2D Echo work?

At the core of 2D echocardiography is the use of high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) that bounce off your heart's tissues and return as images. These images, displayed in two dimensions, provide invaluable insights into the heart's anatomy, blood flow, and functionality.

WHen is a 2d echo recommended?

Assessment of Heart Function: To evaluate how well your heart is pumping and identify any areas of weakness.
Valvular Heart Disease: To detect and assess the severity of heart valve problems.
Structural Abnormalities: To identify congenital or acquired structural issues in the heart.
Cardiac Health Monitoring: As part of ongoing heart health assessments or post-treatment follow-up.

What happens during a 2D Echo?

When you come in for a 2D Echo, you can expect a comfortable and straightforward experience:

Preparation: There is no special preparation required. You can eat and drink as usual before the test. You'll be asked to change into a hospital gown and lie on an examination table.
Application of Gel: A warm, water-based gel will be applied to the area of your chest where the transducer (a hand-held device) will be placed. This gel helps with the transmission of sound waves.
Transducer Placement: The transducer will be moved across your chest to capture different views of your heart. You may be asked to change positions during the test to obtain various images.
Real-time Imaging: You will see real-time images of your heart on a monitor. The cardiologist will use these images to evaluate the size, shape, and function of your heart.
Duration: The test typically takes around 15 to 20 minutes.
