What does a 2D Echo assess?
Echocardiography uses ultrasound to assess heart structure and function, including the pumping chambers and valves. Your clinician interprets findings alongside symptoms and other investigations.
Can a 2D Echo prove that coronary blockage has reversed?
No. An echocardiogram does not establish that a coronary artery blockage has cleared. Coronary assessment requires the appropriate investigation selected by the cardiac team. An improved heart-function measurement is not the same as proven removal of coronary plaque.
