2D Echo

Dr. Rushabh Mukesh Parikh offers advanced 2D Echo (Two-Dimensional Echocardiography) services as a key component of his cardiac diagnostics. This non-invasive imaging technique uses ultrasound waves to create real-time images of the heart, allowing detailed assessment of heart structure, function, and blood flow. Through 2D Echo, Dr. Parikh evaluates conditions such as valve disorders, cardiomyopathy, congenital heart defects, and overall heart performance.

Performed with state-of-the-art equipment and expert precision, the procedure is safe, painless, and highly informative. Dr. Parikh ensures each patient receives a thorough evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and personalized treatment guidance based on the 2D Echo findings.

Transesophageal Exhocardiography (TEE)

Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) is a specialized type of heart ultrasound in which a small probe is inserted into the esophagus to obtain detailed images of the heart’s structure and function. Because the esophagus lies close to the heart, TEE provides clearer and more precise images than standard echocardiography performed on the chest wall. It is commonly used to evaluate heart valves, detect blood clots, assess congenital heart defects, guide certain cardiac procedures, and monitor heart function during surgery. TEE is especially valuable when high-resolution images are needed to make accurate diagnoses or guide treatment.

Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography (DSE)

Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography (DSE) is a non-invasive test used to evaluate how well the heart functions under stress, especially in patients who cannot perform a traditional exercise stress test. During the procedure, a medication called dobutamine is administered through an IV to temporarily increase the heart rate and mimic the effects of exercise. Ultrasound images of the heart are taken before and during the stress to assess blood flow, heart muscle function, and to detect areas with reduced blood supply, which can indicate coronary artery disease or other cardiac problems.

Bubble Contrast 2DE/TEE

Bubble Contrast 2D Echocardiography (2DE) or Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) is a specialized ultrasound technique used to detect abnormal blood flow within the heart, such as shunts (holes) between the heart chambers. During the procedure, a small amount of agitated saline—creating tiny microbubbles—is injected into a vein. These bubbles appear on the echocardiogram and help visualize the movement of blood. If bubbles pass from the right side of the heart to the left, it can indicate conditions like a patent foramen ovale (PFO) or other intracardiac shunts. This technique enhances the ability to identify structural heart problems that may not be visible with standard echocardiography.
