Spielberger AB - In this paper the terms of anger, hostility and aggression, their relationship between them and influence on cardiovascular disorders are revised. As well, the Spanish version of the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory -STAXI- (Spielberger 1988, 1991), labelled Inventario de Expresión de Ira Estado-Rasgo, is described. Finally, results of two different studies are presented: first one carried out with hypertensive patients and second with myocardial infarction patients. There were significant higher scores in anger- in both for hypertensives and myocardial infarction patients as compared as their control groups.
