Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) at NUmed Hospital, Greater Noida West

Advanced Heart Imaging for Precise Diagnosis

At NUmed Hospital, Greater Noida West, we offer Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE), a specialized ultrasound test that provides high-resolution images of the heart. This advanced technique helps in diagnosing complex heart conditions that may not be clearly visible in a standard echocardiogram.

What is Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE)?

TEE is a minimally invasive heart imaging procedure where a thin, flexible probe with an ultrasound transducer is inserted into the esophagus. Since the esophagus is located close to the heart, this method provides clearer and more detailed images of the heart’s structure and function compared to a traditional echocardiogram.

Why is TEE Important?

TEE is commonly recommended for:

Detecting heart valve diseases (such as mitral or aortic valve disorders)
Evaluating blood clots, infections, or tumors in the heart
Diagnosing congenital heart defects
Assessing aortic aneurysms or dissections
Guiding cardiac surgeries and procedures

How is TEE Performed?

A mild sedative is given to ensure comfort.
A thin probe is gently inserted into the esophagus.
The ultrasound transducer captures detailed images of the heart.
The test typically takes 15-30 minutes, and the results are analyzed by our expert cardiologists at NUmed Hospital.

FAQ's

What is Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE), and why is it performed?

TEE is an advanced heart imaging test where an ultrasound probe is inserted into the esophagus to capture detailed images of the heart’s structure and function. It is performed to diagnose conditions like heart valve diseases, blood clots, infections, and congenital heart defects that may not be clearly visible with a standard echocardiogram.

Is Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) a painful procedure?

No, TEE is not painful as patients are given a mild sedative and a throat-numbing spray to minimize discomfort. The procedure is safe and well-tolerated, with minimal side effects such as a mild sore throat that usually resolves quickly.

How should I prepare for a TEE test?

Patients should avoid eating or drinking for at least 6 hours before the test. If you take regular medications, consult your doctor about whether to continue them on the day of the procedure. After the test, you may need someone to accompany you home due to the effects of sedation.
