A transoesophageal echocardiogram (TOE in the UK, or TEE if you are from the USA) is a test using ultrasound to produce moving images of your heart. It shows both the structure of your heart and how well it’s working.
This type of ultrasound can also be used as guide for a surgeon whilst undergoing heart surgery.
