ECG records
  1. a.rate of heart beats
  2. b.potential difference
  3. c.ventricular concentration
  4. d.volume of blood pumped

Answer: (B) potential difference

An electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) records the tiny electrical potential differences generated on the body's surface by the heart's rhythmic electrical activity as it contracts and relaxes; heart rate is only one of several things that can be read off this recording, not what it directly measures.
