The vagus nerve is the longest nerve in the autonomic nervous system. It emanates from the brain. Information flowing through the vagus nerve goes to and from the brain surface to organs and tissues of the body. Vagus is derived from the Latin word for “wandering.” It is so-named because the vagus nerve wanders from the brain to the organs in the abdomen, chest, and the neck. 

Electrocardiography is the technique by which the electrical activities of the heart are studied. The spread of excitation through myocardium (the heart muscle) produces a local electrical potential. This causes the flow of small currents through the body which acts as a volume conductor. These small currents can be picked up from the surface of the body by using suitable electrodes and recorded in the form of the electrocardiogram. This technique was discovered by Dutch physiologist Einthoven Willem, who is considered the father of ECG.

We hold on to this belief strongly.
