A 2D Echocardiogram — often just called an "echo" — is an ultrasound scan of your heart. It shows how well your heart pumps, whether the valves are working, and the size of the chambers. At Samiksha Heart & Diabetic Care in Yelahanka New Town, a 2D Echo costs Rs 1,500, is performed and interpreted by Dr. N. Praveen Kumar himself, and the result is explained during the same visit.
How much does a 2D Echo cost in Yelahanka?
A 2D Echocardiography scan here is Rs 1,500. Because the clinic runs from its own premises, this is well below what large corporate hospitals in Bengaluru charge for the same scan. If a fuller assessment is advised, our Comprehensive Cardiac package (ECG + 2D Echo + consultation) is Rs 2,200.
What happens during the test?
You lie on your side while a small probe with gel is moved gently across your chest. It is completely painless, uses sound waves (no radiation, no injection), and takes about 15 to 30 minutes. No fasting is needed. Crucially, the cardiologist performing the scan is the same doctor who explains it — so you leave understanding what your heart looks like.
Why a doctor-performed echo matters
An echo is only as good as the person reading it. Here, Dr. Praveen performs and interprets the scan personally, drawing on 26 years of cardiology experience — rather than sending images away for a separate report. That means fewer repeat visits and clearer answers about whether anything needs treatment.
