The Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool that is used to measure the regularity of heartbeats as well as the size and portion of the heart chambers and other heart related functions.
The ECG also interprets the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time.
You need to define it with first use, and then you may use the abbreviation throughout the rest of the paper i.e. electrocardiogram (ECG). This is due to the rule that you cannot assume that your audience will inherently know what ECG means.
ECG stands for ElectroCardioGram
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.
Never. An ECG is a test, not an illness or disease.

An ECG provides information about the wearer of the ECG's heartrate and rhythm of the heart. It provides information about wether it is normal or abnormal.
The portion of the ECG that corresponds to atrial depolarization is called the P wave. The P wave is the first wave on the ECG.
Electrocardiogram is also known as ECG or EKG
It can be tested with something called an ecg simulator.
The ECG sign of subendocardial ischemia is ST segment depression. Note that ECG is used more now that EKG.
for better amplification ...by instrumentation amplification we get the output admittance will be more
the time between the two R waves in ECG
