Heart Care
At EPIC Heart & Vascular Center, we provide expert Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE) testing near you to help diagnose complex heart conditions with precision. Our board-certified cardiologist uses this advanced imaging technique to get high-resolution, real-time images of your heart through your esophagus, allowing for detailed evaluation that standard echocardiograms may not capture.
A Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE) is a specialized ultrasound test that provides detailed images of the heart’s structure and function by placing a probe down the esophagus. Since the esophagus lies close to the heart, this method allows for clearer and more accurate images—especially useful when standard echocardiograms do not provide sufficient detail.
Evaluating heart valve diseases
Detecting blood clots or masses inside the heart
Diagnosing infections like endocarditis
Assessing congenital heart defects
Guiding cardiac surgery or interventional procedures
Clarifying unclear results from a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE)
During the TEE, a small, flexible ultrasound probe is gently guided down your throat into the esophagus. Sedation is used to ensure your comfort. Once in place, the probe captures high-quality images of your heart and surrounding structures. The entire procedure takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes and is performed under the care of a skilled cardiologist and nursing team.
Performed by experienced, board-certified cardiologist
High-definition imaging for precise diagnosis
Safe and comfortable sedation environment
State-of-the-art equipment and facilities
Three convenient locations in the Greater Houston area
Accepting most major insurance plans, including Medicare
Whether you’re being evaluated for heart surgery, suspected heart infection, or complex cardiac abnormalities, TEE offers critical diagnostic clarity. Our team at EPIC Heart is here to ensure you receive expert care and accurate results.
