Willem Einthoven 1860-1927
Cardiac patients around the world owe a lot to Willem Einthoven. Indeed, this one devoted his career to the deepening of the mechanisms of electrophysiology. His perseverance legitimated the basis and accurate clinical use of the modern electrocardiograph to distinguish the various heart rhythm disorders. Through this reliable innovation, many researchers have begun to study the functions and diseases of the heart muscle. Since then, the ECG has confirmed itself as one of the most important medical inventions of all time. At the beginning of the 20th century, Willem Einthoven created the string galvanometer, one of the first instruments capable of detecting and recording the weak electrical currents produced by
