Patients with acute myocardial infarction
Type D personality may flag higher AMI risk; leaves open whether screening or interventions improve outcomes.
The cardiac function of patients with acute myocardial infarction plays a vital role in disease prognosis. The risk of ischemic heart disease and death in people with type D personality is 4 times more than those with lower levels of negative affect and social inhibition. In this regard, lifestyle is the objective and quantifiable dimension of human personality.
