Implication

Randomized trial demonstrates greater cardiovascular response in Type A subjects compared to Type B during interviews, indicating implications for heart health.

Key Points

This study aims to compare cardiovascular responses of Type A and Type B individuals during interpersonal interactions.
Coronary patients (n=31) and controls (n=33) participated in structured interviews and a history quiz.
Blood pressure and ECG were monitored throughout the 12-15 minute interactions.
The impact of Type A attributes on blood pressure responses was assessed.
Type A subjects exhibited significantly greater increases in systolic and diastolic blood pressure during the interview (exact data not provided).
Coronary patients displayed higher Type A traits and greater blood pressure elevations compared to controls during the interview.
Quiz responses of coronary patients resulted in significant blood pressure increases, despite beta-adrenergic medication.
