1888

In Marseilles Etienne-Louis, Arthur Fallot publishes paper based on post-mortems of three cyanotic young men in whom he found the four characteristic heart deformities of tetralogy of Fallot: pulmonary stenosis, a ventricular septal defect; right ventricular hypertrophy; and overriding aorta (i.e., aorta does not emerge from left ventricle alone, but communicates with both left and right ventricles). He followed this with documentation of all examples of cyanotic disease he could find, calling it la maladie bleue (Morris, loc 757).
