Question

What does ECG stand for?

The correct answer is

Electrocardiogram

The correct answer is Electrocardiogram.

ECG (also EKG) stands for electrocardiogram: the graphic record of the heart's electrical activity picked up by electrodes on the skin (the machine itself is the electrocardiograph). It shows heart rate, rhythm, conduction blocks, ischaemia/infarction and chamber enlargement.

"Electric Corona Graph" and "Electric Coronary Gram" are not medical terms, so "None of the above" is also wrong.

Short trick: Electro (electric) + cardio (heart) + gram (record) = ECG.
