Two-dimensional echocardiography (2D ECHO) is a test that enables a physician to visualise the beating heart through the simple use of ultrasound waves generated from a handheld device known as a transducer. A transducer contains a special type of a crystal known as a piezoelectric crystal (similar to quartz), which produces sound waves when varying voltage is applied to it. The produced sound waves reflect off different tissues of heart towards which the device is pointed. These waves are captured back by the crystal in the receiving mode and converted to electrical signals, which can be used to form an image of the heart on a monitor. There are different types of 2D ECHO tests, and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the standard type among these. TTE is based on the principle that ultrasound waves, (i.e., waves of a frequency greater than 20 kHz inaudible to the human ear) are poorly transmitted through bone and air but are reflected at the boundaries between two tissues. Thus, by holding the transducer at various locations on the chest, known as acoustic windows, a 2D image o...

Our Approach An echocardiogram uses ultrasound, or harmless sound waves, to quickly and efficiently obtain valuable information about your heart. Our doctors regularly use an echocardiogram, or echo, when they have questions about the size, shape, and performance of your heart and its valves. Echocardiography is a versatile tool to help identify heart disease. We offer a full range of possible tests, including newer options that can provide 3-D imaging or fit inside the arteries. We use the type most suited to your heart and your needs. Types The type of echocardiogram you receive depends on the potential heart problem doctors need to investigate. We offer a full range of echo testing: • Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE): Transthoracic is the most common type of echocardiogram and is noninvasive, taking place entirely outside your body. A team member applies gel to your chest, then uses a handheld transducer to scan your heart. • 3-D echo: Echocardiography typically shows a flat picture, but our machines can also create 3-D imaging. This technology is particularly helpful for identifying problems with heart valves, replacement heart valves, and the heart’s lower left chamber (left ventricle). We are studying new, additional ways to use 3-D echo. • Intracardiac echocardiogram (ICE): Intracardiac echocardiography represents a newer form of testing, with images taken inside your heart. We mostly use this approach to monitor treatments involving the placement of thin tubes ca...

Have you lately felt out of breath while climbing stairs to your office on the second floor?Or you felt low on stamina during your weekend football match with your friends, something that you used to enjoy for hours.These are the signs that your heart needs more attention and care. Our heart pumps blood, and the vascular system takes it to all the organs.Together they form the cardiovascular system.And to do its work properly, all your heart requires is regular exercise, a balanced and nutritious diet, and management of unnecessary stress. However, as your age progresses, you need to include one necessary thing in your healthy heart lifestyle – 2D echocardiography – to ensure your heart health from time to time. What is 2D echocardiography? 2D echocardiography, popularly called 2D echo, is a non-invasive test used to analyze the functioning and assess the sections of your heart. This test gives images of the different parts of the heart with the help of sound vibrations.It assists in checking damages, blockages, and blood flow rate. Doctors recommend regular 2D echo tests to analyze and treat any heart issues at the early stages, keeping you healthy and active as you grow old. Why should you undergo a 2D echo? 2D Echo is done to detect the following heart conditions: • Any underlying heart diseases or abnormalities • Congenital heart diseases and blood clots or tumors • Malfunctioning of the heart valve • Abnormality of blood flow within the heart 2D echo gives information...

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) also known as coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality. Two-dimensional echocardiography (2D echo) is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that provides information regarding the cardiac function and hemodynamics. This paper was designed to update the reader on the fundamental principles and current applications of 2D echo imaging recommended in patients with known or suspected IHD. Also the recent advances on the prognostic and diagnostic value and the future directions of 2D echo in the evaluation of IHD will be addressed. Although the noninvasive imaging modalities for the evaluation of IHD have expanded over the last decade, 2D echo remains the most cost-effective and risk-effective imaging choice in most settings. The main drawback of echocardiography remains in the limited echogenicity of many patients and its undeniable operator dependence. However, improvement of existing well-established echocardiographic methods (2D echo, stress echocardiography, contrast echocardiography) in conjunction with the development of new emerging echocardiography methods (3D echo, tissue Doppler imaging (TDI), speckle tracking imaging) are anticipated to increase the clinical utility of echocardiography in IHD. • Previous article in issue • Next article in issue • About ScienceDirect • Remote access • Shopping cart • Advertise • Contact and support • Terms and conditions • Privacy policy We use cookies to help provi...
