@NephroP This is because in TEE, your LV walls are in the far field & wall motion abnormalities become challenging due to beam spread if you are looking at the mid esophageal 4, long axis (3ch), & bicommissural (2ch). So we use the transgastic shots to read WMAs and measure wall thickness

The history of echo is fascinating and I could go on for hours but that will just devolve into a discussion of echo physics. I would highly recommend BME 543 at Duke which is still taught by Kisslo and von Ramm and is available to undergrads, cards fellows, & sonographers
