Yes, an ECG and an EKG machine refer to the same medical device used to record the electrical activity of the heart. The difference in terminology arises from language: "ECG" stands for "electrocardiogram" in English, while "EKG" is derived from the German "Elektrokardiogramm." Both terms are used interchangeably in medical practice.
