Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE), a minimal-risk, semi-invasive imaging procedure is nowadays an indispensable part of routine echocardiography. It is mainly necessary and indicated: ◆ To analyse some structures insufficiently seen transthoracically, such as the left atrial appendage or the thoracic aorta. ◆ In situations that prohibit the use of conventional transthoracic windows, such as the patient undergoing cardiac surgery.As in transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), the TOE examination consists of a sequence of views defined by internal landmarks; unlike TTE, depending on the patient’s tolerance and the clinical question, not all of these have to be obtained in every examination. Important typical indications for TOE are the search for signs of endocarditis, the search for cardiogenic emboli, diagnosis of left atrial (appendage) thrombi before cardioversion, diagnosis of aortic dissection, characterization of mitral and aortic valve pathology especially in the context of surgical repair, intraoperative monitoring of left ventricular function, and monitoring of interventional cardiac procedures monitored.For some indications, intracardiac echocardiography has been found useful. This procedure involves insertion of a transducer-tipped catheter into the caval vein and advancement to the right heart, or intra-aortic placement. Applications are electrophysiological procedures, interventional closure of atrial septal defect, aortic stent placement, and others.

Abstract Objective to compare the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and drug therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib) and heart failure (HF) within 12-month follow-up. Materials and methods 130 patients (men-75%, average age-62.8 ± 11.8 years) with AFib and HF with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)<50% were included in a prospective study. In 107 (82%) of the included patients, intermediate LVEF was detected (40-49%). At the time of inclusion, paroxysmal AFib (PaAFib) was recorded in 60 (46%) of patients and persistent AFib (PeAFib) in 70 (54%). AFib RFA was performed in 65 patients, 65 patients continued to receive optimal antiarrhythmic therapy. Prior to the intervention and after 12 months, all patients underwent transthoracic echocardiography and quality of life (QoL) assessment using the SF-36 questionnaire. Results the freedom from AFib within 12 months follow-up period was registred in 49 (75%) of patients in the RFA group and 26 (40%) in the drug therapy group. After 12 month follow-up period we revealed increase of LVEF (p < 0.001), decrease of anteroposterior size (p <0.001) and volume (p < 0.001) of left atrium (LA), improvement of mental (p = 0.008) and physical (p = 0.048) health components according to the SF-36 questionnaire in the RFA group. In the group of drug rhythm control, after 12 months there was only the improvement of mental (p = 0.006) and physical p = 0.016) health components and it was much less than in RFA group (р<0.001). Similar results were received in patients who were free from Afib within 12 months in both groups. Conclusions in patients with AFib and HF with LVEF < 50%, restoration and maintenance of sinus rhythm using RFA was accompanied by an increase in LVEF, decrease of  LA size, and an improvement of QoL. In the group of drug therapy, there was a lower freedom from AFib and there was the slight improvement only in QoL.
