2D Echo Test in Amravati: What Echocardiography Shows
A 2D echo (echocardiography) uses sound waves to create moving pictures of your heart. It shows how well the heart pumps and how the valves work, without radiation.
How it is done
You lie on your side. Gel is applied to the chest and a probe is moved over it. It usually takes 20 to 30 minutes, is painless and needs no needle.
What it shows
- How strongly the heart pumps (ejection fraction)
- Valve narrowing or leakage
- Thickened or weak heart muscle
- Fluid around the heart
- Damage after a heart attack
When it is advised
For breathlessness, swelling, a murmur, high blood pressure with heart concerns, after a heart attack, or to follow heart disease over time.
