2D Echo Doppler
What is 2D Echo Doppler?
2D Echo Doppler is an imaging test that uses ultrasound to create detailed images of the heart and measures blood flow through the heart chambers and valves.
Why is 2D Echo Doppler done?
It is used to diagnose heart conditions such as valve diseases, heart failure, congenital defects, and blood flow abnormalities.
How is 2D Echo Doppler different from a standard echocardiogram?
A standard echocardiogram shows heart structures, while 2D Echo Doppler also evaluates blood flow and pressure inside the heart.
Is 2D Echo Doppler painful?
No, it’s a non-invasive and painless procedure that uses a probe on the chest to capture images.
How long does the 2D Echo Doppler test take?
The test usually takes 20–30 minutes and provides real-time images of your heart function.
