The Dutch physiologist who became the "father of electrocardiography". He began studying action potentials in 1894 using the capillary electrometer and became convinced of the diagnostic value of the electrocardiogram unlike Waller. In a paper published in 1900 he reported on the differences between the normal ECG and abnormal one of cardiac patients. Dissatisfied with the prevailing technology, Einthoven then a professor at the University of Leyden, designed the first string galvanometer based on the earlier galvanometer of Deprez and D´Arsonval. It was an unwieldy device with a quartz string housed in a magnetic field and a camera attached but it produced remarkably accurate ECGs and from 1902 on he produced a steady stream of important publications, the most notable being the classic paper published in 1908 establishing the string galvanometer as a clinical instrument. Commercial manufacture of the ECG machine began in 1903 with the instrument maker Edelmann of Germany and in England in 1911 by the Cambridge Scientific Instrument Co. Einthoven´s other major contributions to cardiology was the formulation of the law that relates instantaneous voltages I, II, III in the standard limb leads algebraically (the equilateral triangle method).

The Prinzmetal Einthoven collection includes papers on the first electrocardiograms, taken with the capillary electrometer, in the 1890´s, after Einthoven had worked out the calculation of the true curve of the action current of the heart, or the "electrocardiogram", but before he perfected the string galvanometer. It includes what may be a version of, "The string galvanometer and the human electro-cardiogram: published in 1903; this is "Die galvanometrische Registirung des menschlichen Elektrokardiogramms" from the Arch. f. d. ges. Physiologie, Bonn, 1903. An important paper from 1906 describes the "telecardiogram" by which Einthoven was able to hook up with patients in the academic hospital over a mile away from his lab; from these "long-distance" clinical electrocardiograms Einthoven gained knowledge of many forms of heart disease. Other papers report technical improvements in the electrocardiogram; research on heart sounds, the muscles, the cervical sympathetic nerve (undertaken in America); application of the string galvanometer to telegraphy authored by his son; and his acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine for 1924. His longest paper on the action current of the heart, published posthumously is also present.
