When does a doctor order TEE Test?

TEE Test is an imaging procedure often used on its own or before heart procedures to get detailed heart images. It is ordered for symptoms like unexplained stroke, new or worsening murmurs, suspected valve infection, or to look for clots in atrial fibrillation.

Who should get TEE Test done in Gurugram?

Gurugram's high-pressure corporate culture in Cyber City, Golf Course Road, and Udyog Vihar, combined with NCR's air pollution, an independent cardiac risk factor, sedentary work, and delivery-food diets, drives disproportionately high early cardiovascular risk in adults aged 30 to 45. Regular cardiac testing is recommended for patients on statin therapy (to confirm LDL has reached the treatment target), post-cardiac event patients (to monitor secondary prevention), people with type 2 diabetes (which doubles cardiovascular risk), and anyone with persistently elevated blood pressure.

What conditions can TEE Test help diagnose?

Abnormal results may come from valve disease, infection, blood clots, heart muscle problems, or congenital defects. Family history of valve disease or inherited heart conditions can make a TEE more important.

What do TEE Test results mean?

LDL above 130 mg/dL: elevated risk , your cardiologist will advise dietary changes or statin therapy based on your overall risk score. LDL above 190 mg/dL may indicate familial hypercholesterolaemia. HDL below 40 mg/dL (men) or 50 mg/dL (women): reduced protection. Triglycerides above 200 mg/dL: diet, alcohol, or diabetes-related. Troponin above the 99th percentile: heart muscle injury , may signal a heart attack, especially if rising on serial testing.

How often should TEE Test be repeated?

Low-risk adults with a normal lipid profile: annually. Patients on statin therapy: every 6 months to confirm LDL is meeting the treatment target. Post-cardiac event patients: every 3 to 6 months as directed by their cardiologist. Patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia: every 3 months until stable on treatment.
