A number of psychosocial measures were tested as correlates of coronary artery disease (CAD) in 122 males with positive coronary angiograms and 56 males with no manifest history of atherosclerotic disease who were selected to approximate the patients' age and socio economic status. Only denial of depression as indexed by spouse/friend-minus-self scores on the Ketterer Stress Symptom Frequency Checklist and number of unprovoked nocturnal awakenings were independently and positively related to CAD severity in multivariate regression analyses which controlled for jointly associated cardiac risk factors and commonly used cardiovascular medications. Denial of depression and unprovoked nocturnal awakening appear to be independent correlates of coronary artery disease.

The present study examined traditional risk factors and various indices of emotional distress in males with positive angiograms (N = 122), "syndrome X" males with negative or nominal results on angiogram (N = 53), and age- and socioeconomic status-matched males with no manifest history of otherosclerotic disease (N = 56). Syndrome X patients reported more depression on the Ketterer Stress Symptom Frequency Checklist (KSSFC) than positive angiographic patients. And compared with healthy controls, they were more likely to be perceived by a spouse/friend as depressed and anxious on the KSSFC, scored higher on the Framingham Type A Scale, and reported more unprovoked nocturnal awakening. Syndrome X patients generally appear to be similar to patients with positive angiograms with regard to traditional risk factor history but are more distressed than healthy controls. This becomes most evident when denial is circumvented by discussion with significant others or inquiries are "framed" appropriately.
