- Nonsurgical Procedures for Atrial Fibrillation - American Heart Association
Before cardioversion, you may need a test called a TEE (transesophageal echocardiography) During this test, you swallow a small ultrasound device This lets the health care team look inside your heart atria for blood clots If blood clots are found, you may need blood thinners* before cardioversion This will help reduce your stroke risk
- Testing for Heart Valve Problems - American Heart Association
To fully understand your heart valve problem, your medical team may want to perform a series of tests to provide a complete picture of what needs repair and what may be best left alone Learn about the various tests you may undergo
- Cardioversion - American Heart Association
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is often used to check for the presence of blood clots before this procedure Complications are uncommon but may include:
- Considerations of Intraoperative Transesophageal Echocardiography . . .
Intraoperative TEE use has been shown to improve outcomes and reduce mortality in high-risk cardiac surgery patients, particularly those undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), valve, and aortic surgeries
- Cryptogenic Stroke - American Heart Association
Infectious Etiologies Rare but delayed treatment significant consequences Embolism from infective endocarditis Ischemic lesions, microbleeds, mycotic aneurysms TEE more sensitive
- PowerPoint Presentation
TEE Provides high-quality assessment of mitral and prosthetic valve, including definition of intracardiac masses possible associated abnormalities
- Diagnosing a Heart Attack - American Heart Association
The American Heart Association explains how a heart attack is diagnosed and the various cardiac tests and cardiac procedures for heart attack diagnosis
