2D Echo
introduction
Welcome to Vedmed Diagnostic in Virar, your trusted destination for comprehensive 2D Echo (Two-dimensional Echocardiography) services. 2D Echo is a non-invasive imaging test that provides detailed pictures of the heart's structure and function using sound waves.
Benefits of 2D Echo:
Non-Invasive: 2D Echo is non-invasive, meaning it does not involve surgery or the insertion of instruments into the body.
Real-Time Imaging: Provides real-time images of the heart's structures and function, allowing for immediate assessment and diagnosis.
Safe and Painless: It is a safe and painless procedure that does not expose patients to radiation.
Comprehensive Evaluation: Offers a comprehensive evaluation of the heart's anatomy, blood flow, and function in a single test.
Tests in 2D Echo:
Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE): The most common type of 2D Echo, performed by placing a transducer on the chest to obtain images of the heart through the chest wall.
Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE): Involves inserting a specialized probe into the esophagus to obtain clearer images of the heart's structures, particularly the back of the heart and the aorta.
Doppler Echocardiography: Measures the speed and direction of blood flow within the heart and blood vessels, providing valuable information about cardiac function and detecting abnormalities such as valvular regurgitation and stenosis.
How does 2D Echo work?
During a 2D Echo test, a transducer emits high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) into the body. These sound waves bounce off the heart structures and are converted into images displayed on a monitor. The images show the size, shape, and motion of the heart chambers, valves, and blood flow patterns.
Types of 2D Echo:
Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE): Uses a transducer placed on the chest to obtain images of the heart through the chest wall.
Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE): Involves inserting a specialized probe into the esophagus to obtain clearer images of the heart's structures.
Stress Echocardiogram: Combines 2D Echo with exercise or medication to assess the heart's function under stress conditions.
