The idea
The word parts gram, graph and graphy all relate to recording or writing.
In practice
An electrocardiogram is a recording of the heart's electrical activity: electro for electrical, cardio for heart, and gram for the recording.
Where people slip
Decoding the parts tells you what kind of test a word names, not what its result means; results go to the provider.
