Explanation:

Type A personality -- there are a few types of personalities: A, B and C. We are going to focus on the first type, A. Some of the facts about this sort of personality: person with such complex personality is usually very competitive and self-critical. They're running to their goal, and once it's achieved, they don't feel complete and joyful. They work hard and nothing is ever good enough for them, so they must work even harder in order to achieve perfection. They usually do many things at once, and have a constant feeling of being in a rush and that they won't have time to finish all the tasks they've imagined to do. They're usually overreacting,  they get angry easily, are hostile-oriented. This sort of people see the worst in every scenario possible, both in people and situations, they lack compassion, they're envious and jealous.

Cardiovascular disease -- people with type A personality are more prone to suffering from cardiovascular disease as one of the main reasons for suffering from such disease in the first place is stress. When a person is under a lot of stress and bad emotions in general, like anger and being envious, they get more and more tense, as their body produces more stress hormones, like cortisol and adrenaline. There are many factors combined that lead to CVD, and stress comes like a cherry on top. People under a lot of stress often suffer from stroke and heart attack.

Stress -- Why type A person is constantly under stress? As I said in the first article, they are constantly competing with life, time, obligations, people. They're feeling more stress than, let's say, type B personality. They're always in a rush, they're competing against the clock and are always trying to do many things at once, and if they're fail, which is a big possibility since no one can manage to do more things at once, they feel like they failed, they get angry because they couldn't finish all they set their mind to, they're not satisfied, they blame themselves, others and as a result they start to lead a very stressful life.
