Abstract
Type A coronary prone behaviour has been indicated to be an important risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) since 1959 [1]. Case control and cohort studies [2–4] have shown a significant association between behavioural pattern and CHD. Moreover, an enhanced reactivity of Type A subjects to behavioural stress has been demonstrated [5, 6]. At present there are no data about the assessment and the prevalence of coronary prone behaviour in Italian population samples.
