Sorry to show my ignorance but can someone please tell me TOE stands for.

Trans oesophagial echocardiogram when they use an ultra sound device down your throat to look into your heart.

Thank you for that. It just gets better. I'd definitely need a general anaesthetic for that one!

Bob is correct as always i had one in 2013 with sedation and was fine prefer that to general

They knocked me out for mine as they were doing a cardioversion at the same time.

I had two within three days in April this year. No sedation/anaesthetic. Not entirely pleasant, but just relax into it. Being able to see the scan on the monitor, I found it fascinating.
