Corrigan, Sir Dominic John |
0.07 sec. |
Corrigan, Sir Dominic John(born Dec. 1, 1802, Dublin, Ire.—died Feb. 1, 1880, Dublin) Irish physician. He wrote several reports on heart diseases; his paper on aortic insufficiency (1832) is the classic description. He also produced well-known studies on cirrhosis of the lung (1838), aortitis as a cause of angina pectoris (1837), and mitral stenosis (1838). Eponyms such as Corrigan's respiration (shallow breathing in fever) and Corrigan's pulse (a jerking pulse beat) came into general use as a result of his investigations.
