TOE (Transoesophageal Echocardiogram)
Ultrasound investigation of heart structure and function
Why would you need TOE?
A TOE allows us to visualise the structure and function of your heart in greater detail than a standard echo. In particular it may aid in diagnosis of certain forms of structural or congenital heart disease, allow treatment planning and also guide treatment during minimally invasive procedures. It may be used in conjunction with other forms of cardiac imaging such as cardiac MRI or structural heart disease CT scanning.
