    In 1808 Jean-Baptiste-Timothé Baumès (1756-1828) presented this letter in the Annales de la Société de médecine de Montpellier as a report of the first known case of angina pectoris. The patient, however, did not suffer from angina pectoris, but from emphysema of the lungs and heart dilatation. Rougnon de Magny himself in the disturbance saw only a case of severe dyspnoe.
