Steps of 2D-ECHO:
1) You will be connected to an ECG monitor, which records electrical activity in your heart, and will track your heart throughout the procedure using small, sticky electrodes. The ECG trace recording the electrical activity of the heart will be compared to an image displayed on an echocardiogram monitor.
2) During the test, Dr. Shrikant Dhanwale will move the probes of the transducers across the chest and apply varying amounts of pressure in order to obtain images of the various locations and structures of the heart.The amount of pressure behind the probe should not feel uncomfortable. If it is making you uncomfortable, tell the technician. You might be asked to hold your breath, breathe deeply, or even smell through your nose while you are being operated on.
3) The sound waves are converted to images and displayed on a video monitor. This is called a transthoracic echocardiogram. This is the most common type of echocardiography. It is painless and it is not invasive.
