Did the hospital that did they use a TEE. Note TEE has a much better diagnosis for a blood clot.

"If blood clots are in the chambers of your heart, in particular the upper chamber, such as those caused by atrial fibrillation."

@harveywj no they did not use a TEE.
@roba7 my thorax is tiny and I have several spinal fractures that have altered the thoracic structure. Net result is I feel afib and am clearly fortunate in that. Nevertheless I have monitoring once in awhile to make sure I am not having afib that I do not feel!
