- Transesophageal Echocardiography - American Heart Association
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a test that produces pictures of your heart TEE uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to make detailed pictures of your heart and the arteries that lead to and from it
- Considerations of Intraoperative Transesophageal Echocardiography . . .
Although intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is increasingly important in cardiac surgery for monitoring, decision-making, and improving clinical outcomes, current society guidelines have not been updated with the latest evidence on its benefits
- Heart Walk - American Heart Association
The Heart Walk is the American Heart Association's premiere event for raising funds to save lives from USA's #1 and #5 killers - heart disease and stroke
- 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

TEE Provides high-quality assessment of mitral and prosthetic valve, including definition of intracardiac masses possible associated abnormalities
- PREVENTION OF INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS
Nondental Procedures: In patients with valvular heart disease who are at high risk of IE, antibiotic prophylaxis is not recommended for nondental procedures, such as TEE, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy or cystoscopy, in the absence of active infection
- 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:
- Cryptogenic Stroke - American Heart Association
TTE vs TEE TEE considered more sensitive specific 5% chance of finding pathologies that change management TTE with appropriate maneuvers very sensitive for PFO TTE better for LV thrombus TEE preferred if valvular disease suspected TEE better at imaging left atrium appendage
