2D Echo, also known as 2D Echocardiography, is a non-invasive ultrasound test that uses sound waves to create moving images of your heart. This test helps doctors clearly see how your heart is functioning in real time.
During the test, detailed images of the heart chambers, valves, walls, and blood flow are captured. These visuals help detect problems such as weak pumping (low EF), enlarged heart, valve leakage or blockage, fluid around the heart, and early signs of heart disease.
2D Echo is completely safe, painless, and does not involve radiation. It is highly recommended for people with chest pain, breathlessness, high BP, diabetes, or a family history of heart issues.
What 2D Echo Helps Diagnose
Heart pumping power (EF – Ejection Fraction)
Valve leakage or narrowing
Enlargement of chambers
Wall motion abnormalities
Heart failure signs
Congenital heart defects
Pericardial effusion (fluid around the heart)
2D Echo gives a complete picture of your heart’s health and helps the cardiologist plan the right treatment.
