Transesophageal Echocardiogram Test

If your EKG has failed to detect heart conditions but the symptoms keep bothering you, seek professional cardiac help from our cardiologists at Healthy Living Heart and Vein. They are board-certified in the field of echocardiography, making them the perfect candidate for your transesophageal echocardiogram test. It differs from Echocardiogram and other ultrasounds as it captures images of your heart from inside your body rather than outside. For such a complicated test you need to be in the hands of an expert.

We Find the Transesophageal Echocardiogram Test More Insightful

The esophagus is the organ in your body that is closer to your heart. Hence, during TEE, an echo transducer attached to a thin tube is shoved down to your esophagus through your mouth to capture clear images of your heart chambers from inside your body. Unlike echocardiograms and other ultrasounds which only show images from outside the body.

Such clear pictures of your heart valves, upper chambers, and large artery (ascending aorta) provide our cardiologist with a crystal-clear insight into the functions and structure of your heart.

    Is Our Transesophageal Echocardiogram Test Invasive

    The transesophageal echocardiogram test performed, is an invasive one as a device has to be placed inside your body. If the procedure is executed at our facility with skilled guidance and a comfortable environment. 

    We provide a moderate dose of sedation so you can easily tolerate the whole procedure without any discomfort.

     

    Possible Risk Factors Associated with Our TEE Exam

    The chance of serious problems to occur is little to none due to our controlled atmosphere. Some other potential risks linked to the procedure can make things complicated for us as well. These risks include:

    • Problem with your Esophagus like enlarged veins
    • Previous radiation in the esophagus due to cancer treatment

    Some minor possibilities like bleeding, breathing problems, or abnormal heart palpitations might occur. Your mouth, teeth, throat, or esophagus can also experience minor injuries.
