Which statement best compares an echocardiogram and a Doppler flow study?

Answer
A
Both are used to evaluate chemicals produced by the heart.
B
Both involve the removal and testing of heart tissue.
C
Both utilize sounds waves to produce images of the heart.
D
Both require doctors to analyze electrical impulses produced by the heart.

Explanation

An echocardiogram uses ultrasound sound waves to create images of the heart and assess its structure and movement. A Doppler flow study also uses sound waves, measuring how they reflect from moving blood to show its direction and speed. Thus, both use sound waves to examine the heart, making “Both utilize sound waves to produce images of the heart” the best comparison.
