In this video I discuss the relationship between stress, personality, and heart disease. Meyer Friedman and Ray Rosenman proposed that Type A personality, characterized by competitiveness and hostility, was associated with 7x more heart disease than Type B personality, characterized by a more laid-back and calm demeanor. The frequent spikes of blood pressure associated with episodes of anger may increase arterial damage as well as the possibility of accumulated plaque breaking off and entering blood circulation. As we'll see in future videos, stress management techniques can help with coping and reduce this risk.
