Men with the Type A pattern are twice as likely as Type B men to develop coronary heart disease,and they suffer more fatal heart attacks than do Type B men.The hostility component of the Type A pattern is mainly responsible for the link with heart diseases.Hostility appears to produce excessive arousal in stressful situations,increasing production of epinephrine and norepinephrine,which increases heart rate and blood pressure.
The Type D pattern,characterized by neuroticism,appears linked to the risk for repeated heart attacks.
