Some scholars argue that Type A behavior is not a good predictor of coronary heart disease.[1] According to research by Redford Williams of Duke University, the hostility component of Type A personality is the only significant risk factor.[2] Thus, it is a high level of expressed anger and hostility, not the other elements of Type A behavior, that constitutes the problem.
Below are sentences that I think will contribute greatly to this theory People with Type A personality show greater physiological arousal in the anticipation of stressors. Heart rates and blood pressures tend to be high, and in return have greater secretions of the stress-related biochemical called catecholamines. According to some research, men have a higher possibility of having Type A personality than women. Men also have a greater susceptibility of other risks of coronary heart disease such as elevated cholesterol, hypertension, and smoking. However, in recent years, the number of women dying from cardiovascular disease has increased, while men dying of cardiovascular disease has decreased.[3] References:
