With invitational points and a 5-card heart suit, East starts with 2♦ to get opener to bid 2♥. She then bids 2NT to show exactly five hearts and 11-12 points.

Doubleton hearts, minimum points => pass, to play in 2NT
Doubleton hearts, maximum points => 3NT
3+ hearts, minimum points => 3♥
3+ hearts, maximum points => 4♥
