2D Echocardiography

2D Echocardiography is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to create images of the heart.

2D Echocardiography is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to create images of the heart. This type of echocardiography is used for diagnosis and treatment of cardiac diseases.

It can be used to diagnose and monitor many cardiac diseases such as congenital heart disease, valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, and others. It can also be used for guiding percutaneous interventions such as pacemaker implantation or coronary angioplasty.

ECG

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that records the electrical activity of the heart. It is a non-invasive and painless procedure.

The ECG records the electrical activity of the heart through electrodes placed on the skin. The electrodes are connected to an ECG machine, which amplifies and records the signals as waves on a strip of paper or as digital data. The ECG can be used to diagnose many conditions, such as:

  • Heart attack
  • Heart rhythm problems
  • Heart failure
  • Arrhythmia
  • Coronary artery disease
  • Pericarditis
