See your heart in motion.
2D Echocardiography, commonly known as 2D Echo, is a specialized ultrasound test used to visualize the heart in real-time.
It helps doctors assess the structure, movement, and function of the heart and its valves — ensuring your heart is working the way it should.

❤️ What Is a 2D Echo?

A 2D Echocardiogram uses high-frequency sound waves to create live images of the beating heart.
It shows the heart’s chambers, valves, walls, and major blood vessels in two-dimensional cross-sections, helping detect any abnormalities or damage.

🩺 Why It’s Done

2D Echo is one of the most important tools in cardiac evaluation.
It helps diagnose or monitor conditions such as:

• Heart valve disorders
• Congenital (by birth) heart defects
• Heart muscle weakness or enlargement
• Fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion)
• Heart function after a heart attack
• Pulmonary hypertension and heart failure

⚙️ How the Test Is Performed

• You’ll lie comfortably on the examination table.
• A special gel is applied to your chest to improve sound wave transmission.
• A handheld device called a transducer is moved gently over your chest area.
• The sound waves create moving images of your heart on the monitor in real-time.

🌟 Benefits of 2D Echocardiography

• Safe and radiation-free
• Provides detailed images of heart structures
• Detects heart issues early and accurately
• No injections or contrast needed
• Can be repeated for ongoing monitoring
