Abstract

It is usually assumed that Willem Einthoven started out as a young investigator to invent the electrocardiograph and that he succeeded. On the contrary, his career had several false starts. True, fortune smiled on him. But his diligence and clinical interest plus the scientific freedom of his age led to his remarkable discovery.

摘要

通常认为威廉·艾因特霍芬作为一名年轻的研究者开始着手发明心电图仪并取得了成功。相反，他的职业生涯有过几次并不成功的开端。诚然，命运对他青睐有加。但他的勤奋、临床兴趣以及所处时代的科学自由促成了他这一非凡的发现。
