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.
When performing an EKG which limb is used as a ground.

An EKG stands for Electro Cardiogram. It is actually known as an ECG but in order to avoid possible confusion between EEG and ECG (Because they sound similar), the term EKG is used. An ECG is a record of heart activity.
Electrocardiogram
Electrocardiograms (ECG's or EKG's to use the German) records the electrical activity of the heart. It shows the rhythm and rate of an individuals heart

EKG machine leads are electrodes attached to the patient's skin to measure the electrical signals produced by the heart. The leads pick up these signals and transmit them to the EKG machine, which then displays them as a graph that represents the heart's electrical activity. Different lead placements provide different views of the heart's electrical activity.
There are only 10 electrodes and leads, but those 10 leads get 12 different electrical recordings, which makes it a 12-lead ekg.
