After his father's death, his mother and siblings settled in Utrecht, Holland there Willem entered the university and graduated with an MD degree in 1885. Willem Einthoven was born in 1860 at Samarang, Java, where his father was practicing medicine.

Each successive decade has witnessed increasing application of the basic design and its physical evolution beyond the initial clinical value in the diagnosis and management of maladies of the heart. Willem Einthoven went to medical school in Utrecht and received his doctors degree in 1885. His father, a doctor, died when Willem was six, and four years later his mother returned to the Netherlands with her six children. The first description of the string galvanometer, designed for recording of heart potentials, was published early in this century. Willem Einthoven was born to Dutch parents on Java in what is now Indonesia. The clinical application of EinthovenвЂ™s instrument was pioneered by the British physician Sir Thomas Lewis, with whom Einthoven maintained a long and fruitful correspondence.Willem Einthoven, physiologist, physicist, and physician, developed the string galvanometer, which has proved to be one of the important instruments in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease in modern medicine. Willem Einthoven bronze medal designed by Abram Belskie - Medallic Art Company MAco 69-14-46. From 1908 to 1913 he studied the patterns of records of normal heart activity in order to gain precision in recognizing and interpreting deviations.Д®inthoven continued to develop electrode arrangements, and the present-day standard limb leads were originally described and used by him. 29, 1927, Leiden, Neth.), Dutch physiologist who was awarded the 1924 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of the electrical properties of the heart through the electrocardiograph, which he developed as a practical clinical instrument and an important tool in the diagnosis of heart disease. Einthoven recognized differences in the records or tracings obtained from different kinds of heart disease. Willem Einthoven, (born May 21, 1860, Semarang, Java, Dutch East Indiesdied Sept. He coined the term electrocardiogram for this process. In 1903 he devised the first string galvanometer, known as the Einthoven galvanometer with this instrument he was able to measure the changes of electrical potential caused by contractions of the heart muscle and to record them graphically. He invented the first practical electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) in 1903 and received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1924 for Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of the electrical properties of the heart through the electrocardiograph, which he developed as a practical clinical instrument and an important tool in the diagnosis of heart disease.Д®inthoven was graduated in medicine from the University of Utrecht and served as professor of physiology at the University of Leiden from 1886 until his death.

Willem Einthoven was a Dutch doctor and physiologist. The association is named after the Dutch scientist Willem Einthoven, who in 1924 became the first Dutchman to receive the Nobel Prize in Medicine for inventing.
