Book affordable 2D Echo test cost near you in Delhi. 

This test is performed to evaluate the heart valves and chambers in a non-invasive manner. It produces detailed images of the heart's structure and functions in real time. 

What is 2D ECHO?

It is a safe, non-invasive and painless procedure that helps in diagnosing various heart diseases and disorders. To capture the images of the heart, it uses ultrasound waves that are generated through a transducer (microphone-like device).

The ultrasound waves return varying tissues of the heart in the direction in which the device is pointed. The generated waves are then captured back by the crystal in the receiving mode and transformed into electrical signals to produce the images of the heart on the monitor.

What Are the Other Names of 2D Echo?

  • Echocardiogram
  • Doppler echocardiography
  • Cardiac echo
  • Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE)
  • Cardiac ultrasound

Why is 2D ECHO Echocardiography Done?

The 2D Echo provides a clear image of the heart that helps provide doctors with an improved understanding of:

  • How your heart is beating
  • Heart and its chambers' shape and size
  • The heart’s ability for pumping blood efficiently.
  • Pericardium
  • Problems in heart chambers
  • Problems with Heart muscles
  • Problems in heart valves
  • Blood clots in the heart
  • Causes of heart stroke
  • Detects the fluid filled sac around the heart

Aftercare

The majority of patients are able to resume their normal activities following an echocardiogram.

After undergoing a transesophageal echocardiogram, patients might need to spend a few hours in the hospital or clinic. At first, they might have a sore throat, but that should go away in a few hours or a day.

After an echocardiogram, people who took a sedative prior to the examination shouldn't drive for a few hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ

A 2D Echo test is also called a 2-dimensional Echocardiogram. The test is a non-invasive test that is performed to evaluate and monitor the condition of the heart valves and heart chambers. The test helps in the production of high-resolution scan images of the heart's structure and functions. The pictures are produced real-time images of the heart.

The 2-D echo test stands for two-dimensional echocardiography. This procedure is a form of ultrasound test that produces real-time images of the heart and its structures. The images help in the visualisation of the actual motion of the heart structures.

An echocardiography test is considered a more accurate diagnostic modality in case your doctor needs to determine the structure and function of your heart. The ECG test only provides a hint for any possible health condition, whereas an echocardiography test gives information about the functioning and efficiency of your heart, heart valve, and other structures. 

 

2D echocardiography examination is insufficient in providing information and detecting the blocked arteries. Although the test can efficiently give details about the functioning of the heart muscle and possible abnormalities in the functioning of the heart like weakness of the heart tissues, based on the activity of your heart, your doctor may suspect the presence of blocked arteries.

The 2D Echocardiography test is a non-invasive and safe test. The test doesn't use any ionising radiations to work which can pose certain harms. The test is a specialised ultrasonography test that uses ultrasound waves to operate. 

The test is generally a safe test, there can be limited risks and complications associated with the procedure. The transducer used in the process puts pressure on the chest which may cause discomfort or pain. A special gel is used during the process that may induce rashes or skin irritation.

 

The 2-dimensional echocardiography test contains a sensitivity of 63% and a specificity of 74% for amyloidosis diagnosis. An improved sensitivity of 87% and specificity of 81% were observed in cases where complete echocardiography was conducted.

The echocardiogram is the primary diagnostic and evaluation tool for problems associated with the heart valves. Echocardiography, or echo, is a non-invasive and painless test that operates on sound waves. Moving pictures of your heart are generated using this technology that is capable of providing detailed images of the size and shape of your heart and your heart’s pumping efficiency.
