AB The  transesophageal  echocardiography  (TEE)  machine  records  the  electrocardiogram  (ECG)  simultaneously  with  all  TEE  imagery.  This  is  done  so  that  echocardiographers  can  correlate  echo  images  throughout  systole  and  diastole.  Alterations  in  rhythm  can  have  sweeping  and  at  times  ultimately  fatal  hemodynamic  consequences.  Thus,  the  rapid  interpretation  of  abnormal  rhythms  and  their  correction  is  critical  in  cardiac  anesthesia  practice.
