Key result
Type D personality was associated with more complex coronary artery disease, indicated by a higher mean Syntax score compared to those without Type D personality (26.21 vs 15.49; p<0.001).
Why the study?
Data regarding the connection between type D personality and the severity or complexity of coronary artery disease is scarce.
Is Type D personality associated with increased complexity of coronary artery disease in patients referred for coronary angiography?
Population
221 consecutive hospitalized patients with chest pain referred for coronary angiography
Comparison
Type D personality vs non-type D personality
Design
Cross-sectional case-control clinical-based study

Type D personality may correlate with complex CAD; leaves open prospective validation before incorporating into risk models.

Is Type D personality associated with increased complexity of coronary artery disease in patients referred for coronary angiography?
Absolute Event Rate: 26.21% vs 15.49%
p-value: p=<0.001
Type D personality is associated with more complex coronary artery disease as assessed by the Syntax score, highlighting the link between psychological vulnerability and CAD severity.
Enatescu et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary artery disease (n=221). Type D personality vs. Non-Type D personality was evaluated on Complexity of CAD assessed by Syntax score (p=<0.001). Type D personality was associated with more complex coronary artery disease, indicated by a higher mean Syntax score compared to those without Type D personality (26.21 vs 15.49; p<0.001).
