'''1963''' Robert Bruce and colleages describe their multistage treadmill exercise test later known as the Bruce Protocol. "You would never buy a used car without taking it out for a drive and seeing how the engine performed while it was running," Bruce says, "and the same is true for evaluating the function of the heart." <cite>Bruce1</cite><cite>Bruce2</cite> | [[image:Bruce_portrait.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Robert Bruce]]'''1963''' Robert Bruce and colleages describe their multistage treadmill exercise test later known as the Bruce Protocol.

'''1963''' Baule and McFee are the first to detect the magnetocardiogram which is the electromagnetic field produced by the electrical activity of the heart. It is a method that can detect the ECG without the use of skin electrodes. Although potentially a useful technique it has never gained clinical acceptance, partly because of its greater expense. <cite>Baule</cite> | '''1963''' Baule and McFee are the first to detect the magnetocardiogram which is the electromagnetic field produced by the electrical activity of the heart.
