Electrocardiography

  • Chapter

Abstract

Electrophysiology was created within the science of electricity rather than physiology. In this chapter we shall begin with an account of the early history of electricity, describe the first observations and experiments in electrophysiology, and show how eventually this became a science of its own. Electrocardiography arose as a particular phase of electrophysiology, and developed almost wholly through advances in electrophysical concepts and instrumentation.
