Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE)

L’Échographie Transœsophagienne (ETO) est particulièrement efficace pour observer l’intérieur de l’oreillette gauche, du ventricule gauche ainsi que des valves cardiaques. Grâce à cette technique, les images obtenues sont plus détaillées, permettant de mieux détecter d’éventuelles anomalies qui pourraient être difficiles à visualiser avec une échographie standard réalisée à travers la paroi thoracique.

Persantine myocardial scintigraphy, also known as “MIBI persantine” or “MIBI dipyridamole,” is a nuclear medicine imaging test.
It helps to indirectly determine if there are significant blockages in the coronary arteries.
The test is performed using a radioactive tracer that ‘follows the path’ of oxygen in the heart muscle.
