Overview
Cyanosis was first described by Sandifort, an European, in 1777 described a "blue boy" with tetralogy of Fallot. Blalock and Taussid performed the first anastomosis of subclavian to pulmonary artery on November 9, 1944 to lessen the cyanosis in tetralogy of Fallot. United States' Olympian and gold medalist Shaun White was born with tetralogy of Fallot and had cyanosis because of that.
Historical Perspective
Discovery
- Cyanosis was first described by deSenac who was physician of King Louis XV in 1749.[1] He described as admixture of arterial and venous blood due to abnormal connection between two sides of the heart.[2][3]
- In 1761, Morgagini showed association of cyanosis with pulmonary stenosis due to stasis of blood.
- Cyanosis was described by Sandifort, an European, in 1777 as a "blue boy" with tetralogy of Fallot.[4]
- In 1785, William Hunter described cyanosis as "When the fit was coming..he grew oppressed at his heart, became weak or faint, grew dark in his color, and at last almost black , fell down and seemed insensible....a very small quantity if blood (instead of the whole) passed through the lungs to receive the benefit of respiration and that with a small force too."
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- Blalock and Taussid performed the first anastomosis of subclavian to pulmonary artery on November 9, 1944 to lessen the cyanosis in tetralogy of Fallot.[5]
Famous Cases
- United States' Olympian and gold medalist Shaun White was born with tetralogy of Fallot and had cyanosis because of that.
