2d echocardiogram test in Hyderabad
2D Echocardiogram popularly known as the 2d Echo test is a heart test done by a cardiologist with an Echocardiography machine for the purpose of studying your heart. An echocardiography machine is an ultrasound-like machine with a dedicated cardiac (heart) probe. 2D Echocardiogram (2d Echo test) is capable of displaying a cross-sectional “slice” of your beating heart, including the chambers, valves, and the major blood vessels that exit from your heart. It helps to study the size of the heart, functional status of the heart, condition of the valves of the heart, infection in the heart, and fluid around the heart.
