ECG monitor
Cardiac rhythm display
An ECG monitor is a medical device that displays the electrical activity of the heart in real time, typically showing the familiar peaks and valleys of a heartbeat on a screen.
Used in hospitals, ambulances, and clinics to track heart rhythm and detect abnormalities like arrhythmias or signs of heart attack.
ECG stands for electrocardiogram; the device is also called an EKG monitor, from the German spelling.
