2D echocardiography (2D ECHO) is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that uses high frequency sound waves to create two-dimensional images of the heart. It provides detailed information about the size, shape, and function of the heart's chambers, valves, and surrounding structures. 2D ECHO is commonly used to diagnose and monitor a variety of heart conditions, such as heart disease, heart failure, and congenital heart defects. It is safe, painless, and does not expose patients to ionizing radiation. The procedure is usually performed by a specially trained healthcare professional and takes about 30-60 minutes to complete.
