Explanation

Answer: C - The test that can differentiate between systolic and diastolic dysfunction in heart failure is the Echocardiogram. The Echocardiogram is considered to be the gold standard in diagnostic tests for heart failure. Not only does it reflect the difference between systolic and diastolic function in heart failure, it can determine the ventricular wall size and motion.
