Friedman, Meyer
▪ 2002

      American cardiologist (b. July 13, 1910, Kansas City, Kan.—d. April 27, 2001, San Francisco, Calif.), helped link cardiovascular disease to the kind of aggressive, competitive behaviour exhibited by what he called “type A” personalities. With colleague Ray H. Rosenman, Friedman wrote an influential book, Type A Behavior and Your Heart (1974). In later years he founded and directed the Meyer Friedman Institute, a research centre at the University of California, San Francisco, dedicated to studying the relationship between cardiovascular disease and stress.
