Principles of Principles of ElectrocardiographElectrocardiograph
• Electrocardiograph – is the Electrocardiograph – is the instrument that records the instrument that records the electrical activity of the heartelectrical activity of the heart
• Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the record of that activityrecord of that activity
