Abstract

Methodological difficulties make interpretation of data on treatment of the Type A Behavior Pattern (TABP) problematic. It appears, though, that TABP can be reduced among healthy subjects, especially through the use of multifaceted behavioral and cognitive-behavioral therapies. Secondary prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD) by means of TABP reduction has yet to be demonstrated. TABP interventions have significantly lowered cardiac recurrence rates among Type A CHD patients, though questions remain regarding optimal efficiency and the mode of action of such treatments. This review concludes with extensive methodological and substantive suggestions for future studies of TABP treatment.
