Abstract
The relation of behavior (Type A or Type B) to the morbidity and mortality of coronary heart disease (CHD) is still debated. We studied the survival of 257 male patients with CHD from the initial, 8.5-year phase of the Western Collaborative Group Study to see whether behavior type — as assessed by a structured interview before the CHD event — was related to subsequent CHD mortality.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
