Answer:

There is an inter connection between "Type A behavior pattern", "cardiovascular disease" and "stress".

Step-by-step explanation:

"Type A behavior pattern" (TABP) is seen among the people who are highly competitive, aggressive, workaholics, very ambitious and time-conscious. According to the research, people with TABP has high risk of having "coronary heart disease" (CHD) i.e., cardiovascular disease. Due to the TABP, a person tends to overwork himself which creates restlessness within him. Also, since these people tend to be aggressive and workaholics, it leads to "stress" which affects their health and prone to suffer from heart disease.
