Type A behavior and coronary heart disease.

A V Abbott, C L Snyder, M E Vogel

    American Family Physician
    |October 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Coronary-prone behavior, a risk factor for heart disease, can be modified. This modification helps reduce the chance of future cardiac events, highlighting the role of physicians in prevention.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Behavioral Medicine
    • Preventive Medicine

    Background:

    • Coronary-prone (Type A) behavior is a recognized independent risk factor for ischemic heart disease.
    • Emerging research suggests Type A behavior modification is achievable and can decrease subsequent coronary events.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the significance of Type A behavior as a modifiable risk factor for coronary heart disease.
    • To emphasize the role of family physicians in identifying and managing Type A behavior for cardiovascular disease prevention.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of recent investigations on Type A behavior modification.
    • Analysis of the clinical recognizability of Type A behavior in family practice settings.

    Main Results:

    • Type A behavior modification is feasible and leads to a reduced likelihood of coronary events.
    • Type A behavior is readily identifiable in routine family practice.

    Conclusions:

    • Family physicians can effectively manage Type A behavior to prevent and treat coronary heart disease.
    • Early recognition and intervention for Type A behavior are crucial for cardiovascular health.
