TLDR
Independent factor analyses were performed on JAS responses from four large samples of employed men and concurred that the coronary-prone behavior pattern is actually composed of at least three major, conceptually independent behavioral syndromes: I. Hard Driving, II.

Competitive drive, pattern a, and coronary heart disease: A further analysis of some data from the Western Collaborative Group Study

TL;DR: Factor analysis of the interview variables for a subsample of the WCGS resulted in five primary factors, but only two of these factors, labeled Competitive Drive and Impatience, were associated with subsequent occurrence of coronary disease.

Prediction of clinical coronary heart disease by a test for the coronary-prone behavior pattern.

TL;DR: A prospective study of 2750 employed men who completed a computer-scored test questionnaire measuring the coronary-prone Type A behavior pattern showed that high scorers had twice the incisive risk of heart attack as low scorers.

Excretion of catecholamines, 17-ketosteroids, 17-hydroxycorticoids and 5-hydroxyindole in men exhibiting a particular behavior pattern (a) associated with high incidence of clinical coronary artery disease

TL;DR: It was found that a group of individuals who chronically exhibited an overt behavior pattern characterized by excessive and competitive drive and an enhanced sense of time urgency not only exhibited notably higher serum cholesterol and faster clotting time than individuals exhibiting a converse type of behavior pattern (Pattern B), but also an approximately sevenfold higher incideuce of clinical coronary artery disease and over three times as much arcus senilis.

A comparison of four methods of constructing factor scores

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that constructed factor scores cannot be simultaneously univocal and orthogonal, unless we choose the special basis in factor space given by Canonical Factor Analysis.
