| Abstract: | In two populations of male patients attending a cardiac clinic who underwent invasive procedures coronary angiography (n = 67)] and coronary artery bypass graft surgery (n = 78) there was an association between smoking behaviour and the personality dimension of psychoticism. Follow-up assessment 12 months after both procedures revealed that the resumption of smoking was also highly correlated with psychoticism, and to a lesser extent with extraversion. There was an inverse association between duration of anginal symptoms and a smoking history, and among smokers, those with the heaviest consumption had shorter histories of chest pain both non-smokers and light smokers. Poor compliance among high P scorers has implications for the management of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Because cessation of smoking is the most important single measure in reducing mortality from CHD, more effort should be directed towards patients with these personality characteristics before cardiac surgery is undertaken. |
