A blog post about leo schamroth. Leo Schamroth was a German engineer who contributed to modern electrocardiography. Leo Schamroth was born on November 18, 1926 in Leipzig, Germany. He came from a long line of academics and doctors which dated back to the 17th century with his ancestors’ roots being in Dresden, Prague and Vienna. From 1946-1950 he studied at the Technical University of Hannover where he obtained his engineering diploma in Mechanical Engineering . His studies there led him to an interest in electrical engineering with emphasis on power systems and circuit design mechanics . Schamroth began work with Siemens where he was given responsibility for safety devices for generators . After which he got a position at Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen AG where he made advancements in the area of machine safety for rotating electrical machinery . At this company, Schamroth developed his first inventions for power engineering. Schamroth then went on to work for the German Patent Office where he was given responsibility for registering patents in the electrical engineering field. He was tasked with diving into existing patents and copying them to be used as examples by patent examiners. At this time Schamroth developed his first interest in electrocardiography research concerning faulty electrical conduction paths of the heart. This led him to gain a lecturer position at the Technical University of Hannover in 1952. It was here that he began working on his first electrocardiograph and his first cardiac defibrillator . Schamroth remained with the institute for medical research and training and was promoted to associate professor by 1955. He was then given an honorary professorship in 1961. He went on to become editor-in-chief for the journal "Vie et Mort" ("Life and Death") in 1961 which was published by the French Society of Cardiology . During this time Schamroth developed his first prototype of a pacemaker. He also became chairman of an international task force formed by the French Society of Electrocardiography on heart defects. Schamroth’s work with these medical professionals led to him being awarded the Légion d’honneur award by the French government in 1963. This award was given for his medical research and discoveries about heart defects. In 1969 Schamroth’s research led him to discover that during an electrocardiogram there was a positive deflection of the heart’s electrical conduction pathway that typically occurred within 200 ms of a patient’s heartbeat. This discovery is the basis for what is today known as the Schamroth wave and it helped to improve heart rhythm analysis techniques. His work with improving detection of these electrical conduction pathways led him to more accurately detect and study atrial, ventricular and supraventricular rhythm disturbances. Schamroth had many contributions to medical science including: These contributions helped pave the way for electrocardiography research and techniques that we use today. cfa1e77820
