2D Echo Test (2D Echocardiography)

A 2D Echo Test uses ultrasound sound waves to create moving images of the heart. It allows doctors to visualize:

• Heart chamber size

• Thickness and movement of heart walls

• Valve opening and closing

• Blood flow direction and speed

• Pumping strength (Ejection Fraction)

This test is essential in diagnosing heart failure, valve blockages, valve leakage, weakened heart muscles, congenital defects, and fluid around the heart. Since it uses ultrasound, it is completely safe, painless, and radiation-free.

This test is commonly advised to:

• Detect heart weakness and low pumping efficiency

• Evaluate heart valve diseases

• Diagnose congenital heart abnormalities

• Monitor heart failure

• Assess damage after a heart attack

• Investigate chronic chest pain and breathlessness

• Track progress during cardiac treatment

At PrognoHealth, 2D Echo is performed using high-resolution ultrasound machines by experienced cardiologists, ensuring precise diagnosis, fast reporting, and accurate clinical guidance.

Patient Preparation Instructions:

1. No fasting is required.

2. Wear comfortable loose clothing.

3. Carry previous ECG, Echo, angiography, or heart reports, if available.

4. Inform the technician if you have any implants or prior heart surgery.

5. No injections or contrast dye are used in routine 2D Echo.
