About 2D Echocardiography

2D Echocardiography, commonly called a 2D ECHO, is a non-invasive cardiac imaging examination that uses ultrasound waves to create real-time images of the heart.

It allows healthcare professionals to assess the structure and movement of the heart, including the chambers, valves and heart muscle.

Overview

What is 2D Echocardiography?

A 2D ECHO provides visual information about the heart while it is functioning.

This is different from an ECG. An ECG records the electrical activity of the heart, whereas an echocardiogram provides images that help evaluate heart structure and function.

Why is an ECHO Recommended?

A doctor may recommend an ECHO when a patient has:

  • Chest discomfort
  • Breathlessness
  • Palpitations
  • Heart murmur
  • Abnormal ECG findings
  • Suspected valve problems
  • Known heart disease
  • Reduced heart function
  • Other symptoms requiring structural cardiac evaluation

What Does an ECHO Help Evaluate?

Depending on the examination, ECHO may help assess:

  • Heart chamber size
  • Heart muscle movement
  • Pumping function
  • Heart valves
  • Blood-flow patterns
  • Certain structural abnormalities
  • Fluid around the heart

How is a 2D ECHO Performed?

  • The patient usually lies comfortably on an examination couch.
  • A small amount of ultrasound gel is applied to the chest. A transducer is moved over different areas of the chest to obtain images from different angles.
  • The healthcare professional may ask the patient to change position or briefly hold their breath to obtain clearer images.
  • The acquired images are then reviewed and interpreted.

Preparation

Routine 2D ECHO generally requires little or no special preparation.

Patients should bring previous cardiac reports when relevant and inform the healthcare professional about significant medical history.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 2D ECHO painful? +
No. It is generally painless.
Does ECHO use radiation? +
No. It uses ultrasound waves.
Do I need to fast? +
Routine 2D ECHO generally does not require fasting.
What is the difference between ECG and ECHO? +
ECG records electrical activity. ECHO creates images of the heart's structure and movement.
Can ECHO detect every heart problem? +
No. Different heart conditions require different investigations.
How long does an ECHO take? +
The duration depends on the examination and clinical requirement.
