2D Echo w/ Doppler
A 2D Echo with Doppler is an ultrasound of your heart that shows its chambers, valves, and how blood flows through them. People get it to check the heart's pumping function and look for valve or structural problems.

Shortness of breath or fatigue
Helps assess how well the heart is pumping and whether the chambers are enlarged.
Heart murmur
Doppler shows the direction and speed of blood flow to evaluate valve function.
Known or suspected heart disease
Used to monitor conditions affecting the heart muscle or valves over time.

Common questions
Is a 2D Echo safe?
Yes. It uses sound waves, not radiation, and is a painless, non-invasive test.
How is it different from a plain 2D Echo?
The Doppler feature adds a study of blood flow through the heart valves, giving more detail about how blood moves.
How long does the scan take?
It usually takes around 30 to 45 minutes depending on the views needed.
