Hello
ECG and electrocardiogram mapping are same thing.
It detect electrical impulses generated from our heart.
It is widely used to diagnose condition of heart.
Different electrodes are placed on chest surface,leg and hand and it detect impulses.
These impulses are graphically represented on a paper.
