2D ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY (2D-ECHO) IN PUNJAB

Two-dimensional echocardiography, commonly known as 2D-Echo, is a fundamental diagnostic tool in modern cardiology that uses sound waves to create detailed images of your heart's structure and function. At Livasa Hospital Mohali, advanced 2D-Echo services are provided using state-of-the-art equipment and guided by India's leading interventional cardiologists with over four decades of experience.

What is 2D Echocardiography?

2D-Echo is a non-invasive ultrasound imaging technique that provides real-time visualization of the heart's chambers, valves, and blood flow patterns. Unlike traditional X-rays, this safe procedure uses harmless sound waves without any radiation exposure, making it suitable for patients of all ages, including pregnant women and children. The procedure is performed in minutes and provides immediate results.

Every echocardiogram is interpreted carefully, and findings are explained to patients in clear, simple language.
