Soon after graduating in July 1885, he was appointed Professor of Physiology at Leiden.In 1895, while involved in the study of the electric action potentials of the heart, he developed the sensitive string galvanometer, and in 1896 he was able to register the electrocardiograms of animals and humans, relating them to the heart sounds. Developing this work, he not only established the detailed geometry of the leads for these recordings, but was able to build up an insight into their variations in different forms of heart disease. In 1924 he further investigated the action currents of the sympathetic nervous system.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsNobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology 1924.Bibliography1895, "Uber die form des menschlichen Elektrocardiogramms", Pflügers Archiv.Further Readingde Waart, 1957, Einthoven, Haarlem (complete list of works).MG -
