Correlation between specific affective temperaments and coronary artery disease at cardiac CT angiography

    In a study from the Journal of Affective Disorders, contrast-enhanced cardiac CT angiography was used, in combination with the TEMPS-A temperament evaluation scale, to further investigate the relation between cyclothymic and hyperthymic temperaments and significant coronary artery stenosis. The study found that cyclothymic and hyperthymic affective temperaments are indeed independent predictors of significant coronary artery stenosis.
