In the framework of the programme on the multi-factorial prophylaxis of myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke in males aged 40-59 years, the authors studied the relationship between type A behaviour pattern as a risk factor for coronary heart disease and somatic and history indices. A study of 5698 men showed that group A was characterized by a greater percentage of subjects with elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels and with hypercoagulatory changes in the hemostatic system. Group A subjects more frequently complained of chest pain and had a larger proportion of relatives with cardiovascular disease.
