Overview of 2D Echocardiography (2D Echo)

2D Echocardiography (2D Echo) is a non-invasive ultrasound examination of the heart that uses sound waves to create real-time images of cardiac structure and function. It helps doctors assess how the heart chambers, valves, and muscles are working—making it a vital test for diagnosing and monitoring a wide range of heart conditions.

How 2D Echo Services Work

2D Echo at Nano Hospitals follows a simple, patient-friendly clinical process:

Step 1: Clinical Indication
The treating doctor recommends a 2D Echo based on symptoms such as chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations, or abnormal ECG findings.

Step 2: Image Acquisition
An ultrasound probe is placed on the chest to capture real-time images of the heart from different angles.

Step 3: Functional Assessment
Heart size, pumping strength, valve function, and blood flow patterns are evaluated.

Step 4: Interpretation
The cardiologist analyses the images to identify abnormalities or confirm normal heart function.

Step 5: Care Planning
Results are integrated into the patient’s treatment or follow-up plan.
