Transesophageal echocardiogram

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Echocardiogram is an image of the heart using ultrasound. Transesophageal echocardiogram or TEE test, is obtained by introducing a special type of transducer, also called a TEE probe, through the throat into the food pipe (esophagus) and stomach. Usual echocardiogram is obtained by placing the transducer or probe on the chest.

Young man with chest pain and an abnormal echocardiogram

Heart BMJ

A transthoracic echocardiogram was performed ( figure 1 ). Figure 1 Transthoracic echocardiogram ((A) apical four-chamber view; (B) parasternal short-axis view). The patient was referred for an exercise nuclear study and did 11 min on the Bruce protocol without angina or ischaemic ECG changes.

Echocardiogram in Mitral Valve Prolapse with Mitral Regurgitation (MVP, MR)

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcript of the video: Now we will discuss echocardiogram in mitral valve prolapse. Billowing of the mitral leaflets is very well seen in this echocardiogram. It is a fairly common condition. Many of them may have just echo diagnosis without other relevances. Many of them may have just echo diagnosis without other relevances.

Difficult echocardiogram after pericardiocentesis

Heart BMJ

The next-day echocardiogram was made difficult by the presence in multiple projections of an acoustic shadow and abnormalities in the colour Doppler signal ( figure 1C–F ; ). The pericardial catheter was kept in place for 48 hours until complete resolution of the effusion, and then carefully removed.

M-Mode Echocardiogram in LV Dysfunction

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcript of the video: This is a still image of M-Mode Echocardiogram. M-Mode is Time-Motion Mode. The horizontal axis is time. Vertical axis is distance from the transducer. That is M-Mode, one of the older modes, currently used mainly for taking left ventricular measurements. In the inset you can see the two dimensional image.
