A 2D echocardiogram (2D ECO) is a non-invasive imaging test used to assess the structure and function of the heart. It utilizes ultrasound technology to create two-dimensional images of the heart's chambers, valves, and surrounding structures in real time. During the procedure, a transducer, which emits high-frequency sound waves, is placed on the chest and moved to various positions to obtain different views of the heart.2D ECO provides valuable information about cardiac anatomy, including the size and thickness of the heart chambers, the motion of the heart valves, and the overall function of the heart muscle. It is commonly used to diagnose and monitor a wide range of cardiovascular conditions, such as heart valve abnormalities, congenital heart defects, cardiomyopathy, and heart failure.
