Interview-based hostility was associated with coronary stenosis after controlling for risk factors, and trait anxiety was inversely correlated with occlusion.
Why the study?
Are psychosocial variables such as hostility and anxiety associated with the degree of angiographically-determined coronary artery disease in women?

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Hostility assessment should not yet alter management in women; this Level 5 study leaves open its independent link to stenosis.
