Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE)

What is a Transesophageal echocardiogram? 

        A Transesophageal echocardiogram TEE provides detailed images of your heart structure and valves. Unlike a standard echocardiogram, where the echo transducer is placed upon your chest, a TEE involves attaching the transducer onto a thin tube that then passes through your mouth and down into your esophagus. Because the esophagus is very close to the heart, a TEE allows for clear and detailed images of your heart. 

 

How do I prepare?

  • Detailed instructions will be provided in person at the office once test is scheduled.

  • If you are unable to keep your appointment, please notify our office and the hospital 24 hours in advance.
