Ultrasound of the heart is commonly called an “echocardiogram” or “echo” for short.
A 2D echocardiogram provides your physician with information like the functioning of your heart, diagnosing the malfunctions, if any, and planning the treatment for the developing disease.
During a 2D echocardiography procedure, a healthcare provider will place a small transducer on the patient’s chest. The transducer sends and receives high-frequency sound waves, which create an image of the heart utilising an advanced 2D echo machine. The images are displayed on a screen, allowing the healthcare provider to evaluate the heart’s size, shape, and function.
Doctors may recommend it to:
No. It’s a safe, painless procedure with no radiation exposure. It only involves a probe being moved over your chest with a gel.
No special preparation is needed. You can eat and take your medications as usual, unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
