Abstract
In the 19th century, clinical medicine was firmly based on pathological anatomy. Indeed, in 1846 the Pathological Society of London was founded by physicians rather than pathologists. Pericarditis, valve disease, and endocarditis were described. Fatal conditions became well recognised clinically, benign ones less so. German pathologists and Irish clinicians dominated cardiology in the last century. Although aortic regurgitation was well recognised, other valve deformities were believed to be unimportant.
