It's a graph. ECG's record the electrical activity of the heart and are interpreted via P,Q,R,S and T waves. A person with angina may have a normal ECG at rest, but an Exercise Tolerance Test (ETT) will show ST segment depression when the person develop symptoms. ST depression on an ECG means that there is probably a temporary reduction in the blood supply to the heart, which would assist in a diagnosis of angina. The ETT is useful in determining the level of exertion a person can manage before getting angina symptoms.

It's a graph. They make you run on a treadmill and they test your heart rate and other vitals. It prints out a graph, and they use that as your results.
