	Research to the heart of the matter
		In 1628 William Harvey first described the circulatory system and noted that emotions affect the heart.
		In 1897, William Osler--often called the father of internal medicine--described the typical heart disease patient as "a keen and ambitious man, the indicator of whose engine is always at 'full speed ahead.'" In the 1950s, cardiologists Meyer Friedman, MD, and Ray Rosenman, MD, began their work connecting Type-A traits--free-floating hostility, impatience and insecurity--with cardiovascular disease.
		Conducted while Williams was at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, the study used a questionnaire to assess what researchers call "trait" anger--a propensity for frequent, intense, long-lasting rages.
