WIllem Einthoven is the creator of the electrocardiogram, it is used today everywhere in the health field, in ambulances, hospitals, etc. This is to show how it was first made, and who created it, and first developed it. Along with how it has helped people today in modern times. Understanding how willem einthoven had a compelling achievement in understanding the heart rhythms and how to analyze them. In this essay I will help you understand what is essential to vital human life today, and how it came to be understanding the electrocardiogram.
Willem Einthoven was born in 1860, on May 21st, born in indonesia, his father died when willem was only six years old, after that his mother moved back to the netherlands. Willem was dutch. He studied …show more content…
The next year after that, in 1902 he published the first electrocardiogram ever recorded on a string galvanometer, further discussing the production of string galvanometers in 1903, to help other doctors detect the heart rhythms. In 1905 however, einthoven started to transmit electrocardiograms to his laboratory for further examination and studying. In 1906 he published the first organized presentation of the heart rhythms, of the normal and abnormal electrocardiograms he had studied the year prior. In this presentation he explained left and right ventricular hypertrophy, left and right atrial hypertrophy, U wave, ventricular premature beats, ventricular bigeminy, atrial flutter, and a complete heart …show more content…
Today in the modern electrocardiograms, the heart rate is measured on a machine that can be portable, and it even tells you what the heart is doing in its function, it no longer gets sent to a lab, but recorded in patients medical histories, where everyone in the medical field if needed can access it, with HIPPA laws intact it ensures the wrong person does not access it, unless the patient is getting treated. The electrocardiograms help medical providers nowadays with diagnosing, and to monitor how the patient is doing once the help has
