Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a relatively new technique for ultrasound imaging of the heart and great vessels via a gastroscope modified to house an ultrasound transducer on its tip. Imaging of cardiac and vascular structures is performed from within the esophagus and stomach. TEE probes...
Introduction:The versatility and safety of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) has made it one of the most frequently ordered cardiac imaging tests. However, for inpatients with prior TTE results, the clinical impact of repeat TTE remains uncertain.#Methods:We evaluated the charts of sequential ...
