Echocardiography Laboratory
Stress and transesophageal echocardiograms, usually performed within 24 hours of being requested, are performed by attending echocardiologists. Reports of stress and transesophageal studies are faxed to the referring physician's office immediately upon completion. Routine transthoracic echo reports are usually on the patient's hospital chart or faxed to the outpatient's physician's office the same day.
