Einthoven lezingen / lectures
Om haar Nobelprijs winnaar te eren, heeft de Universiteit Leiden in 1956 de 'Einthoven lezing' en de 'Einthoven onderscheiding' ingesteld. De Einthoven lezing wordt iedere twee jaar georganiseerd; de Einthoven onderscheiding (de Einthoven penning) wordt uitgereikt aan een arts of andere internationaal vermaarde medisch specialist die een belangrijke bijdrage heeft op cardiologie gebied. De eerste spreker en prijswinnaar van de Einthoven penning was Paul Dudley White, een erkende pionier in klinische cardiologie met uitstekende didactische kwaliteiten. Hieronder een overzicht met alle winnaars van de Einthoven prijs, met de titel van hun Einthoven lezing.
To commemorate its Nobel Prize Laureate, in 1956 the University of Leiden established the Einthoven Lecture and Einthoven Award. lt was decided to organize this event biennially and to present the Einthoven Award to a physician of international renown who had made outstanding contributions to the field of cardiology, including fundamental as well as clinical aspects.
