ABSTRACT
Research on the connection between Type A behavior pattern (TABP) and coronary heart disease (CHD) has been conducted for more than 30 years. According to Meyer Friedman and Ray Rosenman (1959), most patients with CHD are characterized by TABP. This pattern has been identified as coronary-prone behavior. Individuals classified as Type A are
in chronic struggle to achieve poorly defined goals or to obtain excessive number of things from their environment and to be in habitual conflict with others and with time. (Rosenman, Swan, & Carmelli, 1988, p. 8)
