Biography
One day, while engaging in his favorite sport, gymnastics, young Willem Einthoven tripped and fell. The result was a broken wrist that kept him from any strenuous activity for several months. The precocious and curious Einthoven made good use of his convalescence to study the pro and supination movements of the hand and the functions of the shoulder and elbow joints, using none other than himself as the patient. Such was the insatiable thirst for knowledge that drove the man who would become famous as the inventor of the electrocardiogram (EKG), one of the most important medical inventions of all time.
Willem Einthoven was born on 21 May 1860, in Semarang on the island of Java, in the former Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia). In 1886 he was made a professor of physiology at the University of Leiden, in Holland, where he taught until his death in 1927.
