May warrant screening Type D CAD patients for tailored support; leaves open whether interventions improve outcomes.
Observational (n=368)
Is Type D personality associated with poorer health status in CAD patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation?
p-value: p=0.001
Type D personality is associated with persistently poorer health status in CAD patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation, suggesting these patients may require adjunctive interventions.
Pelle et al. (2008) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease (CAD) (n=368). Type D personality vs. Non-Type D personality was evaluated on Health status (p=0.001). Type D personality in CAD patients was associated with poorer health status pre- and post-cardiac rehabilitation compared to non-Type D patients (P=0.001).
