| ECG | Electrocardiogram: examination method for recording the electrical activity of the heart |
| Electrophysiological examination: EPU | Cardiac catheterisation for precise recording of the electrical activity of the heart and for testing for arrhythmias |
| Endocarditis | Inflammation of the inner lining of the heart, usually affecting heart valves |
| Ergometry | Examination in which the patient exerts themselves (e.g. on a bicycle) while certain data is recorded (blood pressure, ECG) |
