Conducted a study to see whether aner was related to heart disease
13,000 people completed a 10 question survey designed to measure how angry they are
Six years latr 256 people had suffered from a heart attack - keep in mind that none of the participants had any sort of cardiovascular disease when the survey was conducted
It was found whoever scored 'highly' on the questionnaire (implying that they are angry) were two and a half times more likely to have a heart attack than those who have lower anger ratings
Suggests that anger may lead to cardiovascular disease
