Numerous studies, for example, have examined the correlation between type-A personality disorder and cardiac disease. Although type-A personality is not an official psychiatric diagnosis, at least not in the most current edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, it is described by characteristics such as intolerance, impatience, hostility, and competitive behavior [1].
