Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the major cause of death in men and women in the United States. Type A behavior research was a starting point for psychological science's understanding of the development of CVD. Health psychology science has broadened its scope to consider other psychological constructs as potential risk factors, multilevel models and a life span approach, and new mechanistic pathways that could apply to a number of disease outcomes other than CVD.
心血管疾病（CVD）是美国男性和女性的主要死亡原因。A型行为研究是心理学科学理解 CVD 发展的起点。健康心理学科学已经扩大了其范围，以考虑其他心理结构作为潜在的风险因素、多层次模型和生命周期方法，以及新的机制途径，这些途径可能适用于 CVD 以外的许多疾病结果。
