In 1924, Dutch physician Willem Einthoven won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering the electrocardiogram (ECG) mechanism. He developed the string galvanometer and standardized ECG interpretation, enabling accurate recording of heart electrical activity. This innovation made ECG a vital tool for diagnosing irregular heart rhythms, reduced blood supply, and past heart attacks, foundational to modern cardiology.
