El manuscrito efectúa una breve reseña de los acontecimientos que derivaron en el desarrollo del electrocardiograma. Partiendo de la antigua Grecia, en la persona de Tales de Mileto, se destacan los pioneros experimentos de Luigi Galvani y su concepto de la electricidad animal, seguido de otras aproximaciones como el potencial de acción, sus iniciales registros, y la publicación del primer “electrograma”. Todo ello coronado con el fenomenal perfeccionamiento realizado por Einthoven tanto artefactual como interpretativo, el cual sentó las bases definitivas de su traslación clínica.
