2D ECHO-Cardiography
An echocardiogram (ECHO) is a type of ultrasound scan that is conducted to evaluate the heart and the nearby blood vessels.
This test aims to monitor and assess the functioning of the heart and valves. It also enables a cardiologist to evaluate the blood flow in the blood vessels and to monitor the heart’s pumping chambers.
An echo works on the same principles as that of ultrasound, using high-frequency sound waves that bounce off of different parts of the heart. This, in turn, produces high-quality images which are displayed on a screen.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if my echocardiogram is abnormal?
An abnormal echocardiogram test result denotes the onset of the presence of an underlying heart condition.
This test helps your doctor in diagnosing the issues and creating an effective treatment plan.
Is fasting required for a 2D ECHO test?
Not necessarily. Typically a 2D echo test does not require fasting. However, it’s best to consult with your doctor and avoid large meals before the test.
Does anxiety affect echocardiograms?
es, episodes of anxiety can interfere with ECG tests, especially with normal heart readings.
Can an echo detect heart failure?
Absolutely. An echocardiogram or echo is the most potent diagnostics tool to detect and identify the symptoms of heart failure.
Can a stress echo detect blockages?
An echo test can detect issues in the heart’s arteries, but it cannot identify arterial blockages
