2D ECHO

What is a 2D echo test for?

This technique is used to "see" the actual motion of the heart structures. A 2-D echo view appears cone-shaped on the monitor, and the real-time motion of the heart's structures can be observed. This enables the doctor to see the various heart structures at work and evaluate them.

Why should you undergo a 2D echo? 

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

• Any underlying heart diseases or abnormalities 
• Congenital heart diseases and blood clots or tumors 
• Malfunctioning of the heart valve 
• Abnormality of blood flow within the heart 

2D echo gives information related to the functioning of your heart, diagnoses malfunctions, and plans the treatment for the developing disease.
