Research into the relationship between the Type A behavior pattern and coronary heart disease suggests that the anger-hostility-aggression (AHA!) syndrome is directly related to total serum cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins. The present study involved an investigation of the specific components of the AHA! syndrome related to blood lipid levels in 98 healthy men. The disposition to experience and express anger when frustrated, criticized, or treated unfairly (angry reaction, a component of trait anger) was related to total serum cholesterol and to low-density lipoprotein levels. Age and diet also predicted levels of these lipids, but each was unrelated to angry reaction. These results suggest that in healthy men, the experience of strong angry affect in reaction to perceived rejection, criticism, or unfair treatment may be health-toxic because of its relationship to elevated unfavorable serum lipids.
对A型行为模式与冠心病之间关系的研究表明，愤怒-敌意-攻击（AHA!）综合征与血清总胆固醇和低密度脂蛋白直接相关。本研究对98名健康男性中与血脂水平相关的AHA! 综合征的具体组成部分进行了调查。在受挫、受到批评或受到不公平对待时体验和表达愤怒的倾向（愤怒反应，特质愤怒的一个组成部分）与血清总胆固醇和低密度脂蛋白水平有关。年龄和饮食也可预测这些血脂水平，但二者均与愤怒反应无关。这些结果表明，在健康男性中，因感知到被拒绝、批评或不公平对待而产生强烈愤怒情绪，可能因其与不利血清脂质升高有关而对健康有害。
