2D Colour Doppler Echocardiography (Echo) 

An echocardiogram is a cardiac ultrasound. In cardiac care, an ultrasound helps assess the condition, structure, function and size of the heart chambers by using ultrasound waves. A cardiac ultrasound is a painless procedure, and when combined with cardiac Doppler it detects abnormalities of blood flow within the heart.
