What is the procedure of a transesophageal echocardiogram?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TEE: Transesophageal echocardiogram is an ultrasound examination of the heart. The esophagus lives right behind the heart, so if an ultrasound transducer is placed inside the esophagus, a technologist or cardiologist can get a very nice window to look at the heart.
