At Platinum Medical Centre, we recognise the growing importance of preventive cardiac care in today’s fast-paced lifestyle. To support this, we offer access to reliable 2D Echocardiogram (2D Echo) and Treadmill Stress Testing through our trusted diagnostic partners. These services, although outsourced, are an integral part of our approach to comprehensive heart health screening and early detection of cardiovascular risks.

Whether you’re experiencing chest discomfort, breathlessness on exertion, or simply seeking a routine heart health assessment, our clinic can arrange prompt referrals for 2D Echo and Treadmill Tests, ensuring seamless coordination with expert cardiologists and diagnostic centres.

What Is a 2D Echocardiogram (2D Echo)?

A 2D Echo is a non-invasive scan of the heart that provides moving images of its structures, including valves, chambers, and the heart muscle. It helps evaluate the overall heart function, detect structural abnormalities, and assess how efficiently your heart is pumping.

2D Echo is typically recommended for:

• Patients with chest pain or shortness of breath
• Individuals with high blood pressure or diabetes
• Heart murmurs or suspected valve disease
• Monitoring patients with known heart conditions
• Pre-operative cardiac clearance

The test is painless and generally takes around 20 to 30 minutes. It provides valuable insights into heart health, which guide treatment decisions and preventive care.

What Is a Treadmill Stress Test?

The Treadmill Test (also known as the Exercise Stress Test) is used to assess how well your heart performs under physical exertion. During the test, you’ll walk on a treadmill with increasing speed and incline, while your ECG, heart rate, and blood pressure are closely monitored.

This test helps identify:

• Reduced blood flow to the heart (possible coronary artery disease)
• Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
• Exercise tolerance for people with heart risk factors
• Fitness levels before starting an exercise programme

It’s a safe, controlled way to uncover potential issues that may not be apparent when the heart is at rest.
