Meanings of two-dimensional echocardiography in English

At study entry and at follow-up, all patients underwent exercise testing and two-dimensional echocardiography.

LV size and geometry and function were assessed with the use of two-dimensional echocardiography.

The diagnosis was made by means of two-dimensional echocardiography.

Patients also underwent two-dimensional echocardiography to determine LV dimensions.

Methods We assessed cardiac geometry and function by two-dimensional echocardiography and pulse wave Doppler imaging.

On two-dimensional echocardiography was evidenced an aneurysm of the right SV ruptured in the right atrium.

Thus two-dimensional echocardiography is the method of choice for primary assessment of patients with suspected cardiac masses.

Certain defects may not be possible, or may be very difficult to diagnose by two-dimensional echocardiography alone.

Normal cardiac structure and function were then documented on two-dimensional echocardiography and 12-lead electrocardiography prior to enrollment.
