What is the name of the paper of the result of the ECG?

I saw someone (non native English speaker) who called it "tracing", I would like to ensure it and to know if there are alternatives for that.

Best Answer

ECG plots (tracings) are usually drawn on graph paper.
The paper is moved below a pen so the x-axis (paper direction) corresponds to time and spiking can be observed or any irregularities.
