May inform adherence support in stable IHD and hypertension; leaves open whether targeting Type D improves outcomes.
Observational (n=308)
Does Type D personality reduce adherence to treatment in patients with stable ischemic heart disease and arterial hypertension?
Odds Ratio: 3.21
Absolute Event Rate: 48% vs 39%
p-value: p=0.02
Type D personality is associated with lower adherence to medical therapy in patients with stable ischemic heart disease and hypertension, potentially explaining its link to unfavorable cardiovascular prognosis.
Сумин et al. (2016) conducted an observational in stable ischemic heart disease and arterial hypertension (n=308). Type D personality vs. Without Type D personality was evaluated on lower adherence to treatment (OR 3.21, p=0.02). Type D personality was independently associated with lower adherence to treatment in patients with stable ischemic heart disease and arterial hypertension (48% vs 39%, OR 3.21, p=0.02).
