Type A behaviour: not specifically pathogenic?

C Bass, C Wade

    Lancet (London, England)
    |November 20, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Type A behavior, assessed via questionnaire, was not significantly associated with coronary artery disease severity in patients with chest pain. Socioeconomic status influenced scores more than disease extent.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Psychosocial Factors

    Background:

    • The Type A behavior pattern has been historically linked to coronary heart disease.
    • However, the precise relationship and its influence on disease severity require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association between Type A behavior scores and the extent of coronary artery disease.
    • To explore the influence of socioeconomic status on Type A scores in relation to coronary disease.

    Main Methods:

    • 99 patients undergoing coronary arteriography for chest pain were administered the Bortner Type A questionnaire.
    • Coronary artery disease severity was assessed during arteriography.
    • Socioeconomic class was recorded for all participants.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Men with normal or minimally diseased arteries had higher mean Type A scores than those with significant coronary occlusions.
    • Socioeconomic class significantly influenced Type A scores in men, but not in women.
    • No significant association was found between Type A scores and the extent of coronary artery disease.

    Conclusions:

    • The study does not support a specific association between Type A behavior and coronary heart disease.
    • The findings question the interchangeable use of Type A behavior and coronary-prone behavior terms.
