its me!!! -anon Well unless you're name is Willem Einthoven, I'm going to say you're wrong. Willem Einthoven won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1924 for inventing the ECG, although there were other's who had a hand in it. Einthoven distinguished five different phases (deflections) of electrical current shown in a electrocardiogram, which he named P, Q, R, S and T in 1895.

∙ 12y agoAugustus Waller created the first EKG machine in London in the mid 1870s. It was a combination of the Lippman Capillary Electrometer and a projector - the trace of the pulse was projected onto photographic plate. The plate itself was attached to a toy train to allow real-time recording of the heartbeat.
Thirty years later, Dutch physiologist Willem Einthoven invented his own String Galvanometer in 1903. It was more effective, stable, and sensitive than its predecessors and as such is often credited as the first truly practical EKG machine. Indeed, Einthoven even received a Nobel Prize for his work in 1924.
EKG/ECG machines have changed greatly since their birth, but much of Einthoven's original terminologies are still used to describe EKG readings today.

The portion of the ECG that corresponds to atrial depolarization is the?
The portion of the ECG that corresponds to atrial depolarization is called the P wave. The P wave is the first wave on the ECG.
The first heart transplant was perfomed in 1991 true or false?
False. The first heart transplant into a human was performed in 1964, when a dying man received a chimpanzee heart. The first transplant of a human heart to another human was performed in 1967.
Who is the first inventor of the ecg machine?
Willem Einthoven Invented the accurate ECG using Strings Galvonometer, but Alexander Muirhead made the first prototype.

The first magnetic resonance image was published in 1973 and the first study performed on a human took place on July 3, 1977
What waves are found on an electrocardiogram?
There are no waves in an electrocardiogram. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is performed by putting electrodes on the body and measuring heart activity directly.
