2D Echocardiography is a noninvasive method for imaging the heart. Echocardiography provides information about the structure and the function of the heart. It can detect and quantify the severity of most congenital or acquired heart disorders, and may suggest the cause. We perform this test in adults, children, neonates, preterm babies to detect any congenital cardiac abnormality.
A Color Doppler, which is done at the same time, is an important complement to the two-dimensional image. It provides a visual multicolor display of the blood flow within the heart.
We come to know the state of the heart anatomy, the size, the function, the state of the valves and in children a complete assessment of holes in the heart etc.
