2D Echo/Doppler Study

2-Dimensional Echocardiography/Doppler Study: Using high frequency ultrasound waves that reflect off various parts of the heart to produce real-time pictures (in one and two dimensions) of your beating heart, this is a non-invasive, painless, and risk-free cardiac exam. Echocardiography may be utilized to monitor blood flow through numerous chambers of the heart and heart valves, as well as calculate pressure differences across valves, when combined with the Doppler technology, which records changes in sound wave frequency. The best method to assess the severity of a valve's narrowing, calcification, or leakage is via Doppler signals, which may be color coded to enhance visualization of blood flow (termed Doppler color-flow mapping). The heart specialist may gain a lot of important information from this exam, including: examination of the heart's pumping capabilities and wall motion, other structural and functional abnormalities, clots in the heart chambers, fluid accumulation around the heart, and so on.
