Type A personality and extent of coronary atherosclerosis.
The relation between type A personality and the extent of coronary artery disease was studied in 109 patients who underwent selective coronary angiography. Type A personality as measured with the Jenkins Activity Survey was not correlated with the extent of coronary artery disease as assessed from the number of vessels with 50 percent or greater narrowing of diameter.
