What is the TEE Test?

Transesophageal echocardiogram (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. A TEE is a diagnostic exam. This means that it’s done to help your healthcare provider find a diagnosis (the cause of your illness) and decide on the best treatment plan.

Why TEE test is performed?

The test is used to:

Check how well your heart’s valves and chambers are working
Look for problems, such as valve disease, myocardial disease, pericardial disease, infective endocarditis, cardiac masses, and congenital heart disease
See how well your heart valves are working after surgery
Check for abnormalities in the top left chamber of your heart (left atrium)

What does a transesophageal echocardiogram show?

Heart Valve Health: A transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) plays a crucial role in assessing the condition of your heart valves. It examines the mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonary valves to identify issues like narrowing or leakage.
Understanding Heart Chamber Function: TEE offers valuable insights into the size and performance of your heart’s chambers, such as the left atrium and ventricle. This information is vital for diagnosing conditions like cardiomyopathy.
Spotting Blood Clots: TEE excels at detecting blood clots within the heart, especially in the left atrial appendage. These clots can potentially lead to strokes, making early detection crucial.
Identifying Structural Abnormalities: TEE can reveal any structural irregularities in your heart, including congenital heart defects or even tumors.
Investigating Clot Sources: It is instrumental in investigating the sources of clots, known as emboli, which could have triggered strokes or other vascular issues.
Guiding Cardiac Surgeries: Surgeons rely on TEE during cardiac surgeries to continuously monitor your heart’s function in real-time. This real-time data helps them make precise decisions during procedures such as valve repair or replacement.
