Frequently asked questions

What happens if my echocardiogram is abnormal?

An abnormal echocardiogram test result denotes the onset of the presence of an underlying heart condition.

This test helps your doctor in diagnosing the issues and creating an effective treatment plan. 

Is fasting required for a 2D echo test?

Not necessarily. Typically a 2D echo test does not require fasting. However, it’s best to consult with your doctor and avoid large meals before the test. 

Does anxiety affect echocardiograms?

Yes, episodes of anxiety can interfere with ECG tests, especially with normal heart readings. 

Can an echo detect heart failure?

Absolutely. An echocardiogram or echo is the most potent diagnostics tool to detect and identify the symptoms of heart failure.

Can a stress echo detect blockages?

An echo test can detect issues in the heart’s arteries, but it cannot identify arterial blockages
