Type D personality and psychological stress are associated with an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events at 5 years in patients with coronary artery disease after PCI.
Du et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease after percutaneous coronary intervention (n=250). Type D personality vs. Non-Type D personality was evaluated on Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at 5 years (p=<0.05). Type D personality was associated with a significantly higher incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (31.6% vs 18.0%, p<0.05) compared to non-Type D personality in patients with coronary artery disease 5 years after percutaneous coronary intervention.
