Shortly after William Heberden published his original description of the clinical features of angina pectoris in 1772, he received an intriguing letter from an unnamed physician who suffered from the disease. The case of "Dr. Anonymous" is significant as the earliest account of ischemic heart disease clearly associated with ventricular arrhythmias. This astute observer not only predicted his own sudden death, but also offered his body in the benevolent hope that autopsy correlation would contribute to the understanding of the cause of angina pectoris.
1772年，威廉·赫伯登发表了关于心绞痛临床特征的最初描述后不久，他收到了一位患有此病的匿名医生写来的一封引人入胜的信。“匿名医生”的病例意义重大，因为它是最早明确与室性心律失常相关的缺血性心脏病的记录。这位敏锐的观察者不仅预测了自己的猝死，还出于善意希望尸检能有助于了解心绞痛的病因，主动提出捐献自己的遗体。
