WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Men prone to angry tantrums or sulky hostility are more likely to develop an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation, U.S. researchers have reported.

Having a type-A personality alone was not enough to predispose a man to heart disease, the researchers report in this week's issue of the journal Circulation.

But men who described themselves as fiery- or quick-tempered, hot-headed, furious when criticised, or wanting to hit someone when frustrated were 30 percent more likely to suffer from atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm that can lead to sudden death.

In fact, such men were 20 percent more likely to have died of anything during the study period than less-angry men, the researchers found.

1. Yay!

I already have sinus arrythmia, which I guess isn't dangerous, and the only time my temper flares is when I'm driving - I swear - no one understands the concept of a turn signal. :)
