Does laboratory-induced mental and physical stress elicit different cardiovascular reactivity in myocardial infarction patients and Type A men compared to healthy controls and Type B men?
Myocardial infarction patients and men with Type A behavior exhibit exaggerated and distinct hemodynamic reactivity patterns to mental and physical stress compared to healthy controls and Type B men.
Sundin et al. (1995) studied this question.
