Type-A behavior pattern was significantly correlated with coronary angiographic disease severity, independent of five other major risk factors.
Observational (n=147)
147 consecutive patients scheduled to undergo coronary angiography.
Type-A behavior pattern
Coronary angiographic disease severity
One hundred forty-seven consecutive patients scheduled to undergo coronary angiography were classified according to the type-A behavior pattern. Statistically significant correlations were found between diseases severity and the physical risk factors cholesterol, smoking, hypertension, sex, and age. The correlation of the behavior pattern with angiographic disease severity was of the same magnitude as that of the other risk factors except cholesterol, which was greater. The association between the behavior pattern and severity persisted after adjustments had been made for the effects of five other major risk factors.

Kenneth A. Frank (Fri,) conducted a observational in Coronary artery disease (n=147). Type-A behavior pattern was evaluated on Coronary angiographic disease severity. Type-A behavior pattern was significantly correlated with coronary angiographic disease severity, independent of five other major risk factors.
