ABSTRACT
Understanding of cardiac rhythm requires application of physical principles governing electricity. Over a period of more than 100 years, application of the knowledge of electric current led to the gradual evolution of electrocardiogram, pacemaker, defibrillator, and ultimately electrophysiology. The discovery of electrocardiogram (ECG) by Einthoven in 1902 and that of pacing by Zoll in 1952 were two landmarks in this field.
