Can a 2D echo test spot blockages in the arteries? I've been told I should get one, and I'm wondering if it will actually help in detecting any issues with my heart. Just trying to figure out what exactly this test is going to show.

A 2D echo test, also known as an echocardiogram, primarily evaluates the structure and function of the heart. While it can provide valuable information about the heart's pumping function, valves, and chambers, it may not be the most effective test for detecting blockages in the arteries.

These tests are more specialized in detecting blockages in the arteries.
