echocardiography [‚ek·ō‚kärd·ē′äg·rə·fē] (medicine) A diagnostic technique for the heart that uses a transducer held against the chest to send high-frequency sound waves which pass harmlessly into the heart; as they strike structures within the heart, they are reflected back to the transducer and recorded on an oscilloscope.

Transesophageal echocardiography did not show vegetations or other evidence of endocarditis. A medical evaluation might include a resting electrocardiogram (EKG), 24 hour holter monitor, graded exercise stress test (GXT), thallium GXT, adenosine-thallium testing, echocardiogram, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), or a combination of these, which would cost the athlete $2,000 or more. In addition, with the ACUON fourSight[TM] TEE view and the V5m transducer, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) enables easy access to 3D/4D images inside the operating room for review, manipulation and dynamic display of gated 3D datasets. |
