   Electrocardiogram
   Electrocardiogram: A recording of the electrical activity of the heart. An electrocardiogram is a simple, non-invasive procedure. Electrodes are placed on the skin of the chest and connected in a specific order to a machine that, when turned on, measures electrical activity all overaround the heart. Output is usually in the form of a long scroll of ...

   Electrocardiogram
   An `electrocardiogram` (`ECG` or `EKG`, abbreviated from the German `Elektrokardiogramm`) is a graphic produced by an `electrocardiograph`, which records the electrical activity of the heart over time. Its name is made of different parts: `electro`, because it is related to electronics, `cardio`, Greek for heart, `gram`, a Greek root meaning `to write`. Analysis of the various waves and normal vectors of depolarization and repolarization yields i...

    Electrocardiogram
    Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a graphic record of the electrical activity of the heart as it contracts and rests. It can be used in the diagnosis of a number of heart conditions including valve disorders, arrhythmias, and heart attack.
