Psychological Correlates of Coronary Artery Disease

CLARENCE K. MILLER PH.D.1

1 Department of Psychiatry, Neurology, and Behavioral Sciences, University of Oklahoma Medical Center, Oklahoma City, Okla.; Veterans' Administration Hospital, Houston, Tex.

Analysis of verbal samples collected under varied interview conditions showed coronary disease patients to be significantly higher than controls on measures of anxiety, hostility-inward, and ambivalent hostility, and significantly lower on achievement need--differences attributed to the patient's reactions to myocardial infarctions. Unique personality conflicts in the coronary patient were not disclosed. Age (but not sex) was a significant variable: younger coronary patients had more psychological disturbances.
