POTAIN à la Faculté de médecine de Paris le 21 Janvier 1853 ---- TRES RARE ---- "An outstanding french clinician of the period who contributed extensively to the knowledge of the heart. Potain received the degree of Doctor of Medicine from the University of Paris in 1853. In 1856, Potain became assistant to J.B. Bouillaud and became chief of Bouillaud's clinic. He also served on the staffs of the Hôpital St. Antoine and the Hôpital Necker. In 1859, He became assistant professor of medicine at the University of Paris and two years later associate professor. In 1861 he took the competitive examination and was named physician of the Hospitals of Paris and associate professor of the Faculty of médecine of Paris. Among his celebrated students were L.H. Vaquez and L.J. Teissier. Potain realized the importance of recording the heart beats in connection with the venous pulsations and the graph of the pulse and he devised an instrument with which to make these recordings possible. His chief contributions to medicine included : 1. making precise the relationship of tricuspid regurgitation and circulatory disturbances. 2. description of the pulsation of the liver. 3. distinguishing between the different varieties of gallop rhythm. 4. explanation of the mechanism of the apex beat and 5. recognition of the "bruit de tabourka", the second heart sound, which occurs in the presence of syphilitic aortitis".
