Is TEE the same as cardioversion?

A Cardioversion is the use of electric current to "shock" your heart back into a normal rhythm. For this procedure you will be given medication to make you sleep. Before the cardioversion you will need a special ultrasound called a Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE).
