ECG An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that records the electrical activity of the heart. ECG is used to measure the rate and regularity of heartbeats as well as the size and position of the chambers, the presence of any damage to the heart, and the effects of drugs or devices used to regulate the heart (such as a pacemaker). See also stress test and Holter monitor (24h). = Intensive-care unit = An intensive care unit (ICU), critical care unit (CCU), intensive therapy unit or intensive treatment unit (ITU) is a specialized department used in many countries' hospitals that provides intensive care medicine. Many hospitals also have designated intensive care areas for certain specialities of medicine, as dictated by the needs and available resources of each hospital. The naming is not rigidly standardized.

What is difference between ICu and CCU?
To the best of my knowledge, the ICU is the Intensive Care Unit, which specializes in stabilizing patients in need of intensive care. However, there are two uses for the letters CCU. One can be the Coronary Care Unit, which specializes in the care of patients who have suffered heart attacks or have other cardiac conditions. Another can be the Critical Care Unit, which serves as a department similar to that of the ICU. Hope that helps! Best wishes.
