In this article, correlation techniques are used to construct a quantitative hypothesis indicating the relative importance of blood lipids, blood pressure, family history of atherosclerotic disease, body build, and psychological traits in the production of coronary heart disease. Responses to the psychological questionnaire characterize patients with coronary disease as accepting of multiple responsibilities, free from neurotic anxiety, self‐critical, and possessing an exuberant driving temperament.
