We investigated prospectively the relationship of Type A behavior and its subcomponents with cardiac mortality and recurrent nonfatal cardiac events in a 2-yr. follow-up of 90 patients [69 men and 21 women, M age = 56.4 yr., SD = 8.4] after acute coronary syndrome. Type A behavior was assessed via the general Bortner Type A Index. Each patient completed the Bortner's scale before hospital discharge During the first 2-yr. follow-up, there were 14 cardiac deaths among patients with myocardial infarction. 8 patients had recurrent cardiac events and were hospitalized, and 19 patients had an effort-induced angina pectoris. Patients with acute myocardial infarction who died during follow-up had a significantly lower Bortner score than patients with a secondary cardiac event. Bortner scores of patients with acute myocardial infarction who died indicated Type B behavioral patterns. Mortality was significantly higher in the patients classified as showing Type B (21.8%) behavior than in the patients classified as showing Type A (12.0%) behavior. Patients with a secondary cardiac event had more common Type A behavior patterns and higher Bortner scores than patients without a secondary cardiac event. The items on Bortner's scale “very competitive, ever rushed, tries to do too many things at once, fast in daily activities and expresses feelings” were inversely associated with cardiac deaths. These findings suggest that patients with acute coronary syndrome classified by scores on the Bortner scale as Type B behavior have a greater probability of death, and patients classified on the Bortner scale as Type A behavior have a greater probability of secondary cardiac events during follow-up. This finding may have implications for the treatment of patients with acute coronary syndrome. The inferior survival of patients with Type B personalities argues against attempts to modify Type A behavior in postinfarction patients.

Aim. To study the influence of type of behavioral activity on the development of cardiovascular diseases, to evaluate the effect of type of behavior on the frequency of repeated hospitalizations and fatal outcomes after acute coronary syndrome. Materials and methods. The study included 100 patients with acute coronary syndrome who were subsequently divided into groups according to the main disease - acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina. The median age was 62.09±5.46 years, the therapy according to the underlying disease. All patients had anamnesis of previous and concomitant diseases, anthropometric measurements, physical examination, and observation during the next 24 months after inclusion in the study. In dynamics he carried out daily monitoring of electrocardiogramm, daily monitoring of blood pressure, echocardiography. Diagnosis of types of behavioral activity was carried out using the test method "type of behavioral activity" developed on the basis of the questionnaire Jenkins Activity Survey, published in 1974 by C. Jenkins, the Russian-language adaptation was performed in NIPNI Bekhtereva (L.I. Wasserman, N.V. Gumenyuk). Results. In patients with behavioral activity type A more frequent occurrence of diseases such as angina, hypertension, acute myocardial infarction, acute violation of cerebral circulation, type 2 diabetes than in persons with behavior type AB and B. Repeated hospitalizations for unstable blood pressure and unstable angina on the background of standard therapy in patients with type a behavior occur more often than in patients with type AB and B.

<p>Bleeding after surgery for acute aortic dissection in patients who receive antithrombotic therapy for incorrect diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome is a serious challenge for the surgical team. In this setting, additional control of bleeding may be achieved by using a modified Cabrol shunt. In this report we present our experience in acute Type A aortic dissection surgery.</p>
