Abstract
Background— Hostility is associated with incident coronary disease in most large population-based studies, but little is known about its association with cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in high-risk individuals. The aim of this study was to assess the association of hostility with CVD mortality in the subsequent 16 years in the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT) participants and to explore the influence of hostility in the subset that had a nonfatal CVD event during the trial.Keywords
