How did Matthews and her colleagues conduct research from Friedman and Rosenman's original sample on stress and heart disease? They identified impatience as the only component that predicted death from heart disease at a 22-year follow-up. They came up with another set of psychological characteristics that they believed can put people at risk for heart diseases.
