Live interactive webcast: Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE)

Live interactive webcast: Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE)Shawnee Mission Medical Center, Kanasas, will host a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) procedure on Tuesday, February 17, at 6:30 p.m. Jeffrey W. Bissing, DO, of Clinical Cardiovascular Associates, PA, will perform the procedure while his partner William S. Ritter, MD, FACC, will moderate the session. During the TEE procedure, viewers can watch as a probe is passed down the esophagus instead of being moved over the outside of the chest wall, enabling clearer pictures of the heart. The procedure is commonly done to evaluate heart structure, valves and abnormalities that affect the heart's function. - Marketwire
