1948 SCARCE ATLAS OF CONGENITAL CARDIAC ANOMALIES: THE MAYO CLINIC EXPERIENCE.
20x27 cm hardcover, black leatherette binding, previous owner signature to front paste-down, i-xi, [1], 68 pp, [1]. Very good in custom archival mylar cover (no jacket as issued). FOREWORD: ""During the last two decades a renewed and vigorous interest has been manifested by physicians in the study of congenital anomalies of the heart and great vessels. This renewed interest and the resulting investigative efforts have brought about both gratifying and amazing results. These achievements are concerned with many branches of the medical sciences, including significant contributions to embryology, pathologic anatomy, physiology, clinical diagnosis, roentgenography and roentgenoscopy, electrocardiography, new and accessory methods of diagnosis and finally, in the application of operative surgery. Thus, in the span of a relatively few years the medical philosophy regarding the diagnosis and treatment of congenital anomalies of the heart and great vessels has been completely altered. Previously, the clinician's chief concern and interest were vested in his ability to establish with reasonable certainty the existence of congenital anomalies or acquired cardiac defects. Diagnostic precision, particularly when multiple anomalies existed, was the exception rather than the rule. Today, a complete reversal of this state of affairs exists. The first concerted attempt to correlate clinical and postmortem findings in congenital anomalies of the heart and great vessels was that of the great English physician, Thomas Bevill Peacock (1812-1882). In 1866 his spendid book. On Malformations of the Human Heart, appeared. This work comprised eighteen carefully studied cases with postmortem findings and a well-considered section dealing with the probable genesis of various defects. Another milestone of great significance was the contribution of the brilliant Bohemian pathologist, Karl Rokitansky (1804-1878), of Vienna. After many years of careful study he published the classic article dealing vith his transposition hypothesis of the deviation of the aortic septum in the genesis of congenital cardiac septal defects. In 1879, Henri-Louis Roger (1809-1891), of Paris contributed his classic article on the clinical diagnosis of :ongenital defects of the interventricular septum. The characteristic murmur of this defect is still known :oday as the "bruit de Roger." Other important contributions to the embryologic aspects of congenital cardiac defects were forthcoming from the genius of two brilliant contemporaries. Sir Arthur Keith (1866- ) of London and Franklin Paine Mall (1862-1917) of Baltimore. Without a doubt, the most prolific contributor to the knowledge of congenital anomalies of the heart and great vessels was Maude E. Abbott (1869-1940), of Montreal. Her interest, wide experience and teachings had and still have a far-reaching influence on present-day concepts of congenital cardiac defects. Abbott's teachings and precepts, together with her innate enthusiasm, have in a large measure been responsible for today's remarkable diagnostic precision which in turn opened a new field for surgery." PREFACE: "The greatest advances in the recognition of congenital cardiac defects have been made through the correlation of clinical and laboratory data with the findings at necropsy. It was with this thought in mind that the authors of this publication re-examined all the specimens of congenital cardiac anomalies which had been collected in the Section on Pathologic Anatomy of the Mayo Clinic over a period of some twenty-five years. From this study and exhibit was prepared, the purpose of which was to portray by models, photographs and drawings the structure of these specimens and to correlate the clinical features with the anatomic lesions. In preparing our exhibit we chose for presentation representative cases about which we had the most complete information. As is well known, a certain physiologic derangement which will produce cyanosis can be caused by a variety of anatomic anomalies. Also, there may be great variation in the sympoms and signs of patients who have a given type of cardiac malformation and, therefore, we have Iisted, with each case presented, the more common clinical features of that particular anomaly. The exhibit thus prepared was presented at the centennial meeting of the American Medical Association leld in Atlantic City in June, 1947. To the original data included in this exhibit we have added reproductions of portraits of pioneer investigators in the field of congenital heart disease. We selected those whose writings have greatly influenced our ideas; other students of congenital heart disease might have chosen diflferently. Moreover, it is not our intention to convey the impression that the influence exerted by any one of these ndividuals is necessarily limited to the lesion with which his or her portrait is associated."
