Telemetry doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the heart. It simply means that information is collected and sent remotely to another location for recording or studying. On a telemetry unit in a hospital, it means that the patient's heart rhythm is sent to one main monitor, like at the nurses' station, so that they can monitor many patients at once. An EKG or ECG is an electrocardiogram. Electrodes are placed on the patient, and it records the electrical activity of the heart. An EKG can pick up abnormal rhythms that can be life-threatening. It is displayed on a monitor or printed out on a piece of paper. The telemetry equipment then would take the information from the EKG and send it to the doctors or nurses for monitoring.
