The electrocardiograms thus produced have proved of invaluable assistance to the clinician in the study of cardiac irregularities and affections of the myocardium.That this method has its limitations has been shown by the frequent occurrence of proved cases of coronary vessel occlusions where normal electrocardiograms were obtained. The reason is that...Bibliography1. EINTHOVEN W: Ein neues Galvanometer, Annalen der Physik, 1903, xii, 1059. CrossrefGoogle Scholar2.
