Root Explanation

Cardiography → It is formed from "cardio-" (from Greek "kardia", meaning heart) and "-graphy" (from Greek "grapho", meaning to write or record). The word refers to the process of recording the heart's activity.

Memory Tip

Think of 'heart' ('cardio-') being 'written down' or 'recorded' ('-graphy') — that's what cardiography means.
