Transesophageal Echocardiogram:

If the treating doctor needs more-detailed images or it is hard to get a direct image of your heart with a standard echocardiogram test, you will be recommended a transesophageal echocardiogram.

Preparation For Transesophageal Echocardiogram:

Have someone drive you home post your test because you will be sedated and will not be able to drive for the next 24 hours.
Do not consume food or liquids for at least six hours before your test. Specific instructions will be provided by your doctor. You must follow these strictly.
Ask your care provider about when to take your usual medicines. You can take them at your usual time with a small sip of water.
Leave any valuable personal items at home. Ideal to wear whatever is most comfortable for you.
