Morphology

electrocardiographically = electrocardiographic (semi-transparent) = electro + cardio + graph + ic + ally

The adverb is formed regularly from the adjective 'electrocardiographic' with the addition of '-ally', but the base term is technical and not likely to be fully familiar to general learners.

Etymology

Electrocardiographically comes from three parts: electro- meaning 'electric', cardio- meaning 'heart', and -graph meaning 'to record', as in photograph. So, to do something electrocardiographically is to record the heart's electric signals.
