The incidence of the behavioral types Anger-in and A in patients with cardiovascular diseases

AbstractThe study reveals the possibility of dividing the patients with cardiovascular diseases in two groups regarding the psychological background. We have studied one group of 104 patients with hypertension and one group of 80 patients with myocardial infarction.They were given two questionnaires to complete:1. The Jenkins questionnaire (for A behavioral type)2. The Anger-in questionnaire (for anger-in behavioral type)By analyzing all the 184 questionnaires we have noticed that the percentage of the A behavioural type for hypertensive patients is 65,5% and for patients with myocardial infarction is 34,5%. It has been confirmed that the cases with myocardial infarction show major tendencies towards internalization in a percentage of 97,1% (anger-in behavioral type), unlike the hypertensive group (2,9%)
