2D Echo

2D Echo is a non-invasive investigation used to evaluate the functioning and assess the sections of your heart. It creates images of the various parts of the heart using sound vibrations, and makes it easy to check for damages, blockages, and blood flow rate.

The test is performed for a variety of reasons

To observe the heart in greater detail
To detect abnormal heart valves
To detect abnormal heart rhythms such as an increase or decrease in the beating of the heart
To check for hereditary heart disease
To look for any damage to the heart after a heart attack
To look for inflammation (swelling) of the heart or for any fluid that might have gathered in the sac around the heart
To look for heart murmurs
