NOTES ON SOURCE MATERIAL This book is intended both for members of the medical profession and for the general public. Accordingly, while technical data of special interest to physicians have been incorporated, the overall presentation is journalistic. Intriguing relevant data, little-known historical incidents, and some illustrative anecdotes are included with the basic facts. This broad treatment provides a picture in depth, on many levels, of the medical and public health fields—and simultan

Abstract
We relate the fundamental stages of the long road leading to the discovery of electricity and its uses in cardiology. The first observations on the electromagnetic phenomena were registered in ancient texts; many Greek and Roman writers referred to them, although they provided no explanations. The first extant treatise dates back to the XIII century and was written by Pierre de Maricourt during the siege of Lucera, Italy, by the army of Charles of Anjou, French king of Naples. There were no significant advances in the field of magnetism between the appearance of this treatise and the publication of the study De magnete magneticisque corporibusXIX century, the disciples of the physiologist Galvani were able to demonstrate the existence of animal electricity through experiments exploring the so-called current of injury. On the path of Volta's approach, many characteristics of electricity were detailed, which ultimately led to their usage in the industrial field. The route followed by Galvani-Nobili-Matteucci led to the successes of Waller, Einthoven, etcetera, enabling the modern conquests of electro-vectorcardiography.
