- 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
- Nonsurgical Procedures for Atrial Fibrillation
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
- 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: Allergic reactions to the medications; Irritation of the skin on your chest or back where the electrodes were applied during electrical cardioversion
- Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE)
I underwent a TEE on 12 15 20 after two separate echocardiogram as found a PFO w right to left shunt with moderate right ventricular dialation and mild left atria dialation and mild tricuspid regurhitation
- 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
• 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
- Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) - American Heart Association
A hole in your heart would seem to be the very definition of a "problem " Yet more than a quarter of the population has one type of hole in the heart, called a patent foramen ovale (PFO), and for most people it causes no adverse health effects
- Ejection Fraction Heart Failure Measurement
Ejection fraction (EF) shows how much blood leaves the left ventricle with each heartbeat A normal EF is between 55% and 70% A lower EF can be a sign of heart failure
