What is an Echo Test?

An echocardiogram (Echo) is a diagnostic ultrasound scan that helps evaluate the functioning and structure of the heart and valves. Your cardiologist may also recommend the test to assess how optimally blood flows into the blood vessels and monitor the functioning of the heart’s pumping chambers.

In a 2D echo test, we use high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to capture images of your heart's chambers and valves. This enables monitoring of how efficiently the heart pumps blood. When used in combination with Doppler ultrasound or other colour Doppler techniques, an echo test can help assess the flow of blood across the heart’s valves.

What Does a 2D Echo Test Help Detect?

When you choose us for a 2D echo test near me in Gurgaon, you can be assured of a highly accurate and prompt diagnosis of a wide range of aspects, including:

• The structure of your heart, including the thickness, movement and size of the heart’s walls 
• If the heart’s valves are working efficiently 
• How optimally the heart is pumping blood 
• Presence of an infectious growth or tumour around the heart valves 
• If the valves of the heart are too narrow, indicating stenosis which may hinder the flow of blood 
• Monitor the condition of regurgitation where the blood leaks backwards through the valves

Often, the test can also be used to detect problems with the large blood vessels and the heart’s outer lining. Blood clots or abnormal holes in the heart’s chambers can also be detected.

If you are experiencing symptoms of a heart condition such as chest pain or breathing trouble, contact your healthcare provider. For a prompt and high-quality echo test in Gurgaon, book an appointment with Anand Imaging Centre.

How Do We Perform a 2D Echo Test?

At Anand Imaging Centre, we specialise in 2D echo tests. This helps produce two-dimensional images of the heart and its associated valves & blood vessels. These images are shown as “slices” on a computer and can be stacked to create a three-dimensional structure.

During the procedure, you will need to remove your clothes from the waist up. Our technologist will then apply a colourless gel on your chest and place a transducer device. This device comes attached with electrodes that help capture the ultrasound waves as the transducer is slowly moved along the chest. These sound waves are then interpreted as images and displayed on the computer screen.

If required, we can also perform a stress echocardiogram. Here, the patient is required to exercise on a treadmill or a workout cycle to put stress on the heart. In some cases, dobutamine may be administered instead of physical exercise. Electrode patches are attached to the chest, measuring your heart rhythm, breathing and blood pressure.

It is a non-invasive procedure and does not involve radiation exposure. Therefore, it is safer to perform.
