    Author: Rozhanets RV, Petrova MM, Kononova LI.
    Journal: Kardiologiia; 1988 Dec; 28(12):13-6. PubMed ID: 3244256.
    Abstract:
    Psychodiagnostic screening, using the MMPI test, was carried out in 130 individuals with marginal arterial hypertension (MAH) and 87 normotensive subjects. Individuals with MAH showed anxiety, inner tension, rigidity, a tendency to absorption in disease, and fixation on health. Lowered SMAL fourth-scale profile in MAH individuals may serve as a psychological indicator of a risk of essential hypertension.
