2D Echo / ECG

  • 2D Echo (Two-Dimensional Echocardiography) is an ultrasound-based imaging test that creates real-time moving pictures of your heart. It shows the size, shape, pumping strength, and movement of the heart valves and chambers.

  • ECG (Electrocardiogram) records the electrical activity of the heart through small electrodes placed on the chest, arms, and legs. It helps detect irregular heart rhythms, heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions.

we offer advanced 2D Echo and ECG (Electrocardiogram) services to assess heart health and detect cardiovascular conditions. These are safe, non-invasive tests that help doctors evaluate how well your heart is functioning.

Types of 2D Echo / ECG

  • 2D Echo

    • Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) – standard chest ultrasound

    • Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) – through the esophagus (done in special cases)

    • Stress Echocardiography – done during exercise or medication-induced stress

  • ECG

    • Resting ECG – recorded while the patient is lying down

    • Stress or Exercise ECG (Treadmill Test, TMT) – recorded while walking on a treadmill

    • Holter Monitoring – continuous ECG monitoring over 24-48 hours

Common Uses of the Procedure

  • Evaluate chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness

  • Diagnose heart diseases like coronary artery disease, valve disease, cardiomyopathy

  • Monitor heart function after a heart attack or cardiac surgery

  • Detect heart murmurs, congenital heart defects, or pericardial effusion

  • Assess heart function in patients with high blood pressure or diabetes

How Do I Prepare for My 2D Echo / ECG?

  • 2D Echo: No special preparation is usually needed. Wear comfortable clothes; you may need to change into a hospital gown.

  • ECG: No fasting or preparation required. Wear loose-fitting clothes to allow access to the chest area. Avoid applying lotions or oils on the chest on the day of the test.

  • For Stress Echo or Stress ECG, you may be advised to avoid heavy meals, caffeine, and certain medications; your doctor will provide specific instructions.

What Will Happen During My 2D Echo / ECG?

  • 2D Echo: You will lie on an examination table. A technician will apply gel to your chest and use a handheld device (transducer) to capture heart images. The test usually takes 20-40 minutes.

  • ECG: Small electrodes will be attached to your chest, arms, and legs to record your heart’s electrical signals. The test typically takes 5-10 minutes and is completely painless.

What Are the Reasons for a 2D Echo / ECG?

Your doctor may recommend a 2D Echo or ECG to:

  • Investigate symptoms like chest pain, breathlessness, or palpitations

  • Check for heart valve problems or heart muscle weakness

  • Monitor chronic heart conditions

  • Assess heart health before surgery

  • Screen for heart disease in high-risk individuals
