There are many causes that can lead to heart disease and the eventual outcome of a heart attack.
One particular risk is stress.
There have been well known studies into personalities of different types of people.
One well known study compared the different risks of cardiovascular diseases between people who have a type A and type B personality.
People with type A and Type B personalities are completely different in their approaches to life.
People with type A personalities have certain characteristics that can increase their risk of heart disease and a heart attack.
These personalities often work in high powered jobs and are very ambitious and driven people.
They have the nature of taking on several projects against very tight deadlines.
Type A personalities are very competitive, they want to win and this could also be linked as a need for recognition.
They can be very impatient and can easy lose their control and anger when things do not go as planned.
There is also a tendency for type A personalities to live less balanced lives because they tend to neglect other aspects of their lives such as spending sufficient time with the family or maintaining their health.
In contrast the people with a type B personality are more easy going and relaxed.
This does not mean that they are not as ambitious as type A personalities, as they certainly can be.
They also have goals to achieve and projects to finish however, they take a more balanced approach to their life.
They are less competitive and driven and are not enslaved by deadlines.
They are also less in need of being socially recognised for their achievements as it is more to do with personal satisfaction.
Evidence has revealed that people with type A personalities are 2 to 3 times more at risk of heart attack than people with a type B personality.
This can be linked to the higher stress levels that the type A's experience which can increase high blood pressure.
However, other studies revealed that having no stress could also lessen your life span.
Therefore, it can be considered that reaching a balance in the amount stress you experience and your ability to control it may help to reduce your risk of a heart attack.
