An abbreviation for ElectroCardiogram: A procedure in which electrodes placed on the chest wall pick up the electrical conduction/activity of the heart. The depolarization and repolarization of the cardiac miocytes are are transcribed on a sheet of paper with the amplitude (+ or -) on the X axis, and time on the Y axis.

What is recording of electrical activity of the heart?
Recording of electrical activity of the heart is called an electrocardiogram (ECG). It is a non-invasive test that measures the electrical signals that control the heart's rhythm and can help diagnose heart conditions such as arrhythmias, heart attacks, and abnormal heart rhythms. It is performed by placing electrodes on the skin that detect the electrical impulses of the heart.
Why use P Q R S T on the ECG?
Willem Einthoven invented the ECG in 1903. The letters P Q R S T were assigned to the points on the ECG because it was thought that there may be more points in either direction to be found. The letters remained in use out of common practice even after it was determined there were no further points to be labelled.
