However, data regarding the connection between the TDP and the severity of CAD disease is scarce. The aim of our study was to assess the relationship between TDP and the complexity of CAD, and to compare it with other sociodemographic and clinical features.Patients and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional case-control clinical-based study on 221 consecutive hospitalized patients with chest pain (60 ± 10.2 years; 131 men), referred for coronary angiography.Results: TDP was identified in 42 (19%) patients, using the DS 14 scale. Symptomatology profile was evaluated using the SCL-90 scale. Syntax score was greater in the subgroup of patients with TDP in comparison to non-TDP subgroup (26.21± 12.03 vs 15.49± 8.89, respectively, p< 0.001), and most of SCL-90 symptom dimensions have significantly higher levels in the subgroup of TDP with CAD patients (all p < 0.05). Smoking (β=0.132, p=0.037), dyslipidemia (β=0.149, p=0.013), Diabetes Mellitus (β=232, p< 0.001), NA dimension of TDP (β=0.255, p< 0.001) and SI (β=0.279, p< 0.001) dimension of TDP have a significant contribution to the complexity of CAD assessed by Syntax score.Conclusion: TDP was associated with a more complex CAD assessed by Syntax score, and may represent a dynamic interface between the biological and psychological vulnerabilities and the symptoms of CAD.Keywords: coronary artery disease, type D personality, Syntax scoreEnatescu VRCozma DTint DEnatescu ISimu MGiurgi-Oncu CLazar MAMornos CDove Medical Pressarticlecoronary artery diseasetype d personalitysyntax scoreNeurosciences.
