This data is extremely useful to detect abnormalities of the heart like myocardial infarction & helpful due to the presence of the generalized conditions / disorders those affect the rest of the body too like electrolyte disturbances. .
2D Echo : Non-invasive screening of the heart for size and shape of the heart (internal chamber size quantification), pumping capacity, and the location and extent of any tissue damage.
