Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Echocardiography is a noninvasive procedure that uses ultrasound waves to produce images of the heart. It is commonly used to evaluate the heart for structural defects. Electrocardiogram (A) is a test that records the electrical activity of the heart and can detect abnormal rhythms. Electrocardiomyogram (B) is not a recognized medical test. Cardiac catheterization (D) is an invasive procedure that involves threading a thin tube through a blood vessel to the heart to diagnose and treat heart problems. While it can detect structural defects, it is not typically used as a first-line tool for this purpose.
