The eponym "tetralogy of Fallot" did not become a common noun in pediatric cardiology vocabulary for several decades after Etienne-Louis Arthur Fallot's report in a French medical journal. There were others before Fallot who described the abnormal cardiac anatomical findings seen in tetralogy of Fallot, but his name became fixed to the condition's eponym primarily through Maude Abbott popularizing the term.
在艾蒂安 - 路易·阿瑟·法洛（Etienne-Louis Arthur Fallot）在一份法国医学杂志上发表报告后的几十年里，“法洛四联症”这个以人名命名的术语才成为小儿心脏病学词汇中的常用名词。在法洛之前，也有其他人描述过法洛四联症中出现的心脏解剖结构异常，但主要是通过莫德·阿博特（Maude Abbott）推广这个术语，法洛的名字才固定成为该病症的命名。
