Transesophageal (tranz-ih-sof-uh-JEE-ul) echocardiography (EK-o-kar-de-OG-rah-fee), or TEE, is a test that uses sound waves to create high-quality moving pictures of the heart and its blood vessels. TEE is a type of echocardiography (echo). Echo shows the size and shape of the heart and how well the heart chambers and valves are working. Echo can pinpoint areas of heart muscle that aren't contracting well because of poor blood flow or injury from a previous heart attack.
Grand Prix: The highest level of show jumping. Run under International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI) rules, the horse jumps a course of 10 to 16 obstacles, with heights and spreads of up to 6.5 feet (2.0 m).
Good steeplechasers typically posses a blend of both speed and endurance. In the 3000 meter (m) steeplechase there are 35 total barriers: 28 hurdle jumps and 7 water jumps. The deepest part of the water pit is about 70 centimeters (cm) and is lined with a synthetic surface so spikes can grip the bottom. About 12 steps before the barrier, you should start mentally preparing to hurdle.
