2D Echocardiography

2D echocardiography is a medical imaging technique that uses sound waves to create two-dimensional images of the heart. During the procedure, a small device called a transducer is placed on the chest, which sends out ultrasound waves. These waves bounce off the heart and return to the device, generating live images that help doctors assess the heart’s structure and function. It allows for the evaluation of heart size, shape, and blood flow, assisting in diagnosing conditions like heart disease, valve problems, or heart failure, all without the need for invasive procedures.
