Complementary: Per Dr.Ram: Depends on the condition being investigated. ... In general M mode measures movement and 2D actual thickness. Both can be subject to operator dependent artifact so that's where need information re why done and what looking for. If remains unclear the cardiologist may order a more accurate transoesophageal echo to sort it out.
