An electrocardiogram (ECG) can be used to measure the rhythms of the heart.
By recording and interpreting the ECG or EKG as the Americans call it (Electrocardiograph)
There are various devices used to measure heart function, but you are probably asking about an electrocardiogram.
In simplest terms you seem to be describing the electrocardiogram. There are much more advanced node conduction tests and equipment, but they are more invasive and less common.

EEG
It is a positive wave in the hearts muscle cells, the process of electrical discharge and the flow of electrical activity.
Yes. It is the electrical activity that stimulates the mechanical activity.
an electrocardiogram records the electrical activity of the heart, with this you can see the rhythm of the heart and the way it is contracting. This is a great diagnostic tool for health care professionals.
No, electrical activity in the heart moves from proximal to distal.
ECG and EKG mean the same thing, and it records the hearts electrical activity on a 6 second strip. The physician can make a diagnosis by looking at the EKG print out. If a 12-Lead EKG is used, then all walls and function of the heart will be recorded.
Both measure electrical activity -- the ECG in the heart and the EEG in the brain.An EEG is an electroencephalogram and an ECG also known as an EKG is an electrocardiogram. An EEG records brainwave/electrical activity. An ECG records the electrical activity that the heart produces.
No it is not
Explosion of electrical activity
The electrical activity of the heart.
No, what defibrillation does is 'reorganize' chaotic electrical activity known as ventricular fibrillation or pulseless V-Tach.

The electrical activity of the heart is recorded using an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) machine. This machine detects the electrical signals generated by the heart and produces a graphical representation of the heart's electrical activity called an ECG tracing. Electrodes are placed on the skin to capture these signals and can help diagnose heart conditions.
