Electrocardiogram

Most US spelling is more straightforward than British spelling, right? So why on earth do they abbreviate Electrocardiogram to EKG, rather than ECG as we do?

It's like they're trying to give it an interesting rock-band type name. We are ElectroKardiogram! Dude, that needs some heavy metal umlauts. ËlëctröKärdïögräm are rocking the stadium!
