cardiograms
Cardiac electrical recordings
Cardiograms are graphic records of the heart's electrical activity, produced by monitoring devices that track heartbeats over time.
The term usually refers to electrocardiograms (ECGs or EKGs), though it can apply to other heart-monitoring outputs.
Doctors read cardiograms to detect irregular rhythms, damage, or disease: The cardiogram showed signs of a previous heart attack.
