Professionals – a high risk group for coronary events?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Are professionals a high risk group for coronary events? Here are some of the potential risk factors in professionals:<\/p>\n

Stress
\nSedentary lifestyle
\nLack of exercise
\nSleep deprivation
\nIrregular food habits
\nSmoking
\nType A Personality<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Professionals with type A personality have a higher risk for cardiac events. Type A personality is characterized by the following features:
\nImpatience and time urgency
\nStrong desire to achieve more in less time
\nFree floating hostility – ever irritated
\nUnwarranted anger, unable to relax
\nHave many \u2018to do lists\u2019 that never end
\nHighly competitive, very ambitious<\/p>\n

Type B personality has almost the opposite features of type A personality. It is the hostility component of type A personality which is cardiotoxic and coronary prone. In a study in which hostility was measured in 1,877 employed men and observed for 10 year incidence of myocardial infarction or coronary mortality and adjusted for age, blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking and alcohol usage, found that there was a 42% difference between the highest and lowest quintiles of hostility.<\/p>\n

Another study assessed 3200 healthy males, and stress-prone individuals (Type A) were identified as those with anger & hostility, competitiveness and time-urgency.They were reassessed after 8\u00bd years. 257 had developed coronary artery disease, of whom 70% had Type A personality. This association remained even when smoking and other lifestyle factors were accounted for.<\/p>\n

Type C Personality<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Those with type C personality suppress their emotions, especially the negative ones. They are unassertive, likeable and rarely argumentative. They wish to please others and are generally helpful to others. But the suppression of emotions have negative physiological consequences for the individuals with type C personality. Their immune system may be suppressed and may lead to a higher risk of cancer.<\/p>\n

Type D Personality<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

They are gloomy, socially inept and worriers. Type D personality is associated with greater risk of heart attack. Those who already had a myocardial infarction are four times likely to have another one in the next ten years. They have a distressed personality, associated with depression and social alienation. Several recent studies have focussed on type D personality and their higher coronary risk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
