Abstract
Evidence suggests that hostility and anger are associated with clinical manifestations of coronary heart disease. This article reviews the role of hostility and anger in the onset and progression of coronary artery disease. How anger and hostility are assessed, the psychobiological mechanisms that may explain the unfavorable consequences of these characteristics, and behavioral management of anger and hostility in patients at high risk of developing cardiac events are considered.
