“…In literature, it is emphasized that depression higher than 10 on BDI bears higher risk of death or rehospitalisation in the year to follow, while depression lower than 10 carries a considerably lower risk (15). Increased mild depression is associated with bad compliance, giving up rehospitalisation program and maintaining unhealthy lifestyle: smoking, lack of physical activity and alcohol consumption (16,17), which is in keeping with our results related to maintaining risk health behaviour in coronary patients, in the period of six months. Assessment of depression was based on the affective and cognitive symptoms, with BDI being an adequate estimation instrument (15).…”

“…Increased aggression and hostility of coronary patients is associated with increased cardiovascular reactivity to interpersonal stressors and the present risk health behaviour (17,18). Mildly increased aggression observed in both groups of patients in our sample was interpreted as a reaction to the conditions of the disease and hospitalization, as the premorbid assessment lacks.…”

“…Depressive syndrome, which was determined in one third of our patients, manifested itself as worry, reticence, disinterest in conversations and events in the family, frequent waking up at night, loss of appetite, negative predictions related to health condition. Aggressive behaviour of coronary patients described as A type (cognitivebehavioural personality traits) involved hastiness, competitiveness, lack of time, aversion to idleness, and consciously controlled aggression (17).…”

The aim of the paper was to determine specific spontaneous changes in psychological and behavioral parameters in patients who had a myocardial infarction compared to non-coronary patients during a period of six months after hospitalization.Thirty-three hospitalized patients with acute myocardial infarction (group K) and 30 hospitalized non-coronary patients (group C) were compared and than followed up for six months for the following psychological parameters: intensity of anxiety, intensity of depression, intensity of aggression, exposure to stressful life events; and risk health behaviors -alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking and lack of physical activity.On admission, anxiety and depression were more pronounced in group K, as well as the exposure to stressful life events. After six months, the level of aggression in group K was lower compared to the initial measurement (p<0,05), exposure to stressful events was also lower (p<0.01), while physical activity was more frequently practiced (p<0.01). Anxiety and depression remained increased. In group C, such changes were not demonstrated after six months.Increased anxiety and depression as well as decreased aggression and exposure to stressful life events six months after acute myocardial infarction were psychological changes specific of coronary patients, not reported in the group of non-coronary patients.

Personality traits of aggression-submissiveness and perfectionism associate with ABO blood groups through catecholamine activities

Personality trait research has shown associations with many genes, prominently those of the catecholamine metabolism such as dopamine beta hydroxylase (DBH), catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), and monoamine oxidase A (MAOA). Because DBH gene is in linkage disequilibrium with ABO gene, there is reason to think that other catecholamine genes using the same substrate as DBH may also have associations with ABO blood groups, and this paper demonstrates how this may be so. Reasons include similarities in hapmap population frequency distributions, similarities in illness risks between ABO blood groups and DBH activities as well as between ABO blood groups and COMT activities and between ABO blood groups and MAOA activities. If ABO blood groups can be demonstrated to associate with all these catecholamine genes, then the catecholamine personality trait research can be applied to ABO blood groups and tested for confirmation. ABO blood typing is widely available and affords ability to test this hypothesis and thus confirm the possible joint association of personality traits of aggression-submissiveness and perfectionism to catecholamine genes and to ABO blood groups. Clinical applications and implications are discussed.
