2D ECHO

A two-dimensional Echocardiogram or 2D Echo test is a diagnostic test that uses ultrasound waves to assess the functioning of the heart. When these waves hit the organ structures inside, they echo back and produce moving images of the heart and valves on the computer screen.

The image thus formed is known as Echocardiogram. This is used to assess any malfunction or damage associated with the heart tissue or valves like clots, blockage, congenital heart defects, and issues like coronary artery diseases.

2D echocardiography, popularly called 2D echo, is a non-invasive test used to analyze the functioning and assess the sections of your heart. This test gives images of the different parts of the heart with the help of sound vibrations.It assists in checking damages, blockages, and blood flow rate.

What is endocrinology? Endocrinology is the study of hormones and endocrine glands and organs. Hormone-secreting glands and certain organs in your body make up your endocrine system

What is the 2D Echo Test used for :

A defect in heart muscle called cardiomyopathy

blockage in the arteries leading to atherosclerosis

defects in either the left or right or both valves

cardiac tamponade or pressure in the pericardial lining
