ECG / 2D Echo

ECG (Electrocardiogram) is a quick, painless test that records the electrical activity of your heart. It helps detect irregularities in heart rhythm, heart muscle damage, and other heart-related conditions.

2D Echo (Two-Dimensional Echocardiography) is a type of ultrasound test that uses sound waves to create images of the heart. It shows the heart's size, shape, movement, and blood flow in real-time.

Types of ECG and 2D Echo

ECG Types:
  • Resting ECG: Performed while the patient is lying still.
  • Stress ECG (Treadmill Test): Done during physical activity to see how the heart responds to exertion.
  • Holter Monitoring: A 24–48-hour continuous ECG recording for detecting irregular heartbeats over time.
2D Echo Types:
  • Transthoracic Echo (TTE): Standard non-invasive echo done through the chest wall.
  • Transesophageal Echo (TEE): A probe is passed into the esophagus for clearer images of the heart.
  • Stress Echocardiogram: Done before and after exercise or medication to check heart function under stress.
  • Doppler Echocardiogram: Measures blood flow and pressure inside the heart.

Causes for Requiring ECG/2D Echo

These tests are commonly recommended for:

  • Chest pain or discomfort
  • Shortness of breath
  • Irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia)
  • Dizziness or fainting spells
  • High blood pressure
  • History of heart disease or stroke
  • Monitoring heart conditions over time

Symptoms That May Lead to ECG/2D Echo

  • Palpitations
  • Rapid or slow heartbeat
  • Chest tightness or pressure
  • Swelling in legs or abdomen
  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Breathing difficulties, especially when lying down

Treatments Based on Results

Depending on the test results, treatment options may include:

  • Medications (e.g., beta-blockers, anticoagulants)
  • Lifestyle modifications (diet, exercise)
  • Cardiac procedures (angioplasty, pacemaker implantation)
  • Surgery (e.g., valve repair/replacement)
  • Continuous monitoring and follow-ups

Prevention and Early Detection

  • Routine Screenings: Regular ECG/2D Echo tests for those with risk factors
  • Heart-Healthy Lifestyle: Balanced diet, regular exercise, avoiding tobacco
  • Manage Chronic Conditions: Keep blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol under control
  • Stress Management: Reduce anxiety and mental stress which affect heart health
