Why is 2D Echocardiography Needed?
2D Echocardiography (2D Echo) is a non-invasive imaging test that provides detailed images of the heart’s structure and function. It helps in diagnosing and monitoring various heart conditions by assessing the heart’s chambers, valves, and blood flow.
Why This test is essential for:
- Detecting heart valve disorders.
- Evaluating heart muscle function and detecting damage (e.g., after a heart attack).
- Diagnosing congenital heart defects.
- Monitoring heart conditions during treatments.
- Assessing fluid buildup around the heart (pericardial effusion).
- Evaluating abnormal heart rhythms or murmurs.
