Electrocardiogram (medicine) and unconformity (medicine)


Electrocardiogram (medicine)


electrocardiogram
<cardiology, investigation> An recording of the electrical activity of the heart on a moving strip of paper. The electrocardiogram detects and records the electrical potential of the heart during contraction.

Acronym: ECG


unconformity (medicine)


unconformity


1. Want of conformity; incongruity; inconsistency.

2. <geology> Want of parallelism between strata in contact.

With some authors unconformity is equivalent to unconformability; but it is often used more broadly, for example, to include the case when the parallelism of strata once conformable has been disturbed by faulting and the like.
