Best Answer

He invented the first practical electrocardiogram in 1903.

It was known before him that the heart produced electrical pulses, however he created a functional way of recording and measuring them.

Bonus fact, he was dutch, and named his invention Elektrokardiogram, which is why we call it an EKG as often as ECG.

May all your P's be upright and ST's level :)
