Tele can stand for telephone or telemetry.

te-lem-e-try (tschwa.gif-lebreve.gifmprime.gifibreve.gif-tremacr.gif)

n. The science and technology of automatic measurement and transmission of data by wire, radio, or other means from remote sources, as from space vehicles, to receiving stations for recording and analysis.

EKG and ECG are the same. Kind of like tomatoe, tomato.....potato,potatoe.....envelope,envelop

EKG is the German spelling (kardiogram). The physician who invented it was German, and it just kind of stuck.

Tele= telemetry, when you hook up a cardiac monitor to a patient and can monitor their cardiac activity from the nurse's station.

A Tele is a dual pick-up electric guitar made by Fender. Favoured by Country musicians, but it does have a wider appeal. Here's a master of the Telecaster......

It's also tele-medicine. Used in "remote and rural" areas where access to specialist expertise is difficult. Like video-conferencing.
