Association with carotid atherosclerosis extends Type A coronary links; leaves open causality and practice implications in cross-sectional data.
Is the Type A behavior pattern associated with the presence of carotid artery atherosclerosis in adults aged 40 to 65?
The Type A behavior pattern is significantly associated with carotid artery atherosclerosis, suggesting its role as a risk factor extends beyond the coronary arteries to the broader arterial system.
Stevens et al. (1984) studied this question.
