Silvio Weidmann
( 1921 - 2005 )
Silvio Weidmann was a Swiss electrophysiologist. His elegant microelectrode work on cardiac Purkinje fibres in Cambridge led to several discoveries, including the phenomenon of all-or-nothing repolarization, a series of 1950s papers in The Journal of Physiology, and his classic 1956 book: Elektrophysiologie der Herzmuskelfaser .
