Stress testing - Diagnostic testing of a person's heart while undergoing stress in a controlled environment

Stress Echo - A stress echocardiogram test combines an echocardiogram (cardic ultrasound) of the heart and Stress test. This allows the doctor to understand how the heart functions under stress.

TEE (Transesophageal Echo) - A transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) is a special type of echocardiogram. A transducer (a unit that directs the sound waves) is placed in the esophagus. The esophagus is close to the heart, so images from a TEE can give very clear pictures of the heart and its structures.
