Coronary-prone behaviour pattern and myocardial infarction.
Seventy five patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) and forty matched control subjects were assessed for coronary-prone behaviour pattern by a self administered scale. Analysis of the results showed a higher incidence (P < 0.001) of type A behaviour pattern in acute (MI) patients, as compared to controls.
