TTE (Transthoracic Echocardiography) is a noninvasive imaging technique that uses ultrasound waves to produce a 2D real-time image of the heart structure and function. It is the most commonly used echocardiography technique and provides valuable information about heart function and potential cardiac abnormalities. TEE (Transesophageal Echocardiography) is another type of echocardiography that uses a special probe inserted through the esophagus to obtain better images of the heart, but it is more invasive than TTE. ETT (Exercise Tolerance Test) and TET (Treadmill Exercise Test) are both cardiac stress tests used to evaluate exercise-induced changes in the heart, but they do not provide imaging information.
