Meyer Friedman, a renowned cardiologist, and Ray H. Rosenman collaborated to identify Type-A behavior and its association with heart disease. Their observation of increased restlessness in heart patients led to linking Type-A personality traits with higher risk. Friedman's extensive research, comprising over 500 articles, positioned him as a foremost authority in the realm of heart disease. His groundbreaking work illuminated the behavioral and physiological dimensions of heart health, transforming the comprehension of cardiovascular conditions and facilitating the development of novel strategies for prevention and treatment.
