Abstract：
:Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) provides excellent delineation of ventricular function in the ambulatory and critical settings. Major indications include the acutely ill patient with suboptimal images with other techniques and the intraoperative assessment of patients undergoing cardiac surgery and of cardiac patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. The methodology of quantification of ventricular function is quite accurate, though it has inherent limitations. Newer technologies, such as edge enhancement techniques, three-dimensional acquisition, and contrast agents, all have the potential to improve evaluation of ventricular function with TEE. Stress imaging with TEE is possible with dobutamine and with pacing techniques. This is sage and accurate, and it is indicated in patients, such as the morbidly obese, who are impossible to image by other methods.
