Key result
Hostility is an independent predictor of recurrent coronary heart disease events in men, but not in women.
Why the study?
Does hostility predict recurrent coronary heart disease events differentially in men and women?
Does hostility predict recurrent coronary heart disease events differentially in men and women?
Hostility independently predicts recurrent CHD events in men, but not in women, suggesting a sex-specific psychological risk factor.
Epidemiologic evidence suggests healthy individuals characterised by hostile personalities are at increased risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). We tested if hostility predicts CHD recurrence differentially for men and women.
