The Type A Behavior Pattern and Coronary Artery Disease

The Type A Behavior Pattern and Coronary Artery Disease This report represents an effort to clarify the role of two behaviors, time urgency and chronic activation, in Type-A-related coronary heart disease. It attempts to examine the role of these tendencies in relation to the global Type A behavior pattern (TABP) and its best-explored ingredient, anger. Inferences are made concerning possible underlying physiologic mechanisms that might link Type-A-like functioning to pathology of the coronary arteries. Some comments are also provided for nonscholars or laypersons in the TABP area. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png American Psychologist American Psychological Association

Abstract

This report represents an effort to clarify the role of two behaviors, time urgency and chronic activation, in Type-A-related coronary heart disease. It attempts to examine the role of these tendencies in relation to the global Type A behavior pattern (TABP) and its best-explored ingredient, anger. Inferences are made concerning possible underlying physiologic mechanisms that might link Type-A-like functioning to pathology of the coronary arteries. Some comments are also provided for nonscholars or laypersons in the TABP area.
