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.

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.

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.

Echocardiogram in Rheumatic Mitral and Aortic Regurgitation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcript of the video: This is an apical five chamber view and this is an apical four chamber view. You can see four chambers – RV, LV, RA, LA, and the transducer location is here. And this is five chamber because, in addition you are seeing the aorta also. Right atrium has not been labelled.

Mild Tricuspid Regurgitation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Mostly, they are detected on highly sensitive tests like echocardiogram. In echocardiogram, the Doppler beam can detect this small leak. That is, mild mitral regurgitation and mild aortic regurgitation are less common. Then, these mild tricuspid leaks, are not seen on clinical examination.
