Emanuel Goldberger

Emanuel Goldberger (born February 10, 1913 in New York City , † May 7, 1994 in Jupiter, Florida ), was an American cardiologist . The (pseudo-) unipolar limb leads according to Goldberger , which are now part of every 12-channel electrocardiogram (EKG), go back to him.

life and work

Goldberger graduated from City College and Downstate Medical School in Brooklyn . He then worked in private practice as well as at various hospitals, including the Montefiore Medical Center and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine . Goldberger did teaching at New York Medical College (NYMC).

In the 1940s and 1950s Goldberger published numerous articles on the recording and interpretation of electrocardiograms (EKG). In 1942 he described the (pseudo-) unipolar limb leads aVR, aVL and aVF, later named after him. In addition, Goldberger wrote numerous textbooks.

Emanuel Goldberger was married and the father of two sons. His son Ary Goldberger is also a doctor.
