what is a echocardigram:M-mode/2d/doppler?!
Question:
Answers:
An echocardiogram is an ultrasound study of your heart. The technology is similar to that used to visualize babies in the uterus. M-mode, 2D and Doppler are various imaging modes that physicians can use to gather pertinent information about your heart function and valvular function. It is a bit technical, but M-mode is one-dimensional imaging, 2D is two-dimensional imaging, and Doppler is used to show direction and velocity of blood flow. The only thing you will need to do for the study is lie on a bed while an echocardiographer acquires the images. They will usually position you as necessary to get the best images; for the most part, this means being on your left side with your left arm under your head.

I believe that is basically an ultrasound of the heart.
It's a 2 dimensional echocardiogram, which is an ultrasound of the heart. It checks valves, wall motion and overall pumping function. Hope this helps!
