Methods of Recording Electrocardiogram (With Diagram) | Instruments | Biology

Though Waller (1887) first recorded the electrocardiogram yet Einthoven (1903) was the real father of the electrocardiog­raphy. His method of recording E.C.G. through string galvanometer was followed until 1930 when it was largely replaced by the amplifier - driven oscillograph provided with direct ink recording. Prin­ciples upon which the string galvanometer was based are as follows if an electrical current [...]
