Title
The Paediatric Cardiology Hall of Fame: Maude Elizabeth Abbott
Abstract
Few paediatric cardiologists today know of McGill University's Maude Abbott (1869-1940). Yet before better known American pioneer paediatric cardiologist Helen Taussig (1898-1986), no one contributed more to founding the specialty than Maude Abbott. She achieved international fame as the early twentieth century expert on cardiac malformations in babies. The authors summarise Abbott's life and contributions, indicating how she is more than justified in being inducted to the Paediatric Cardiology Hall of Fame.
