Derived from Modern Latin and Greek roots, combining 'electro-' (referring to electricity, from Greek elektron meaning amber), 'cardio-' (from Greek kardia meaning heart), and 'gram' (from Greek gramma meaning that which is drawn or written). It entered medical terminology in the early 20th century following the invention of the practical string galvanometer by Willem Einthoven.
