Abstract: The present paper intends to study the effect of progressive muscle relaxation on executives with coronary heart disease. The main objectives of the study were to compare the job stress level, coping strategies and personality type of public sector senior executives with and without CHD. The Sample for the study consisted of 70 senior executives from B.H.E.L, Bhopal. To have a comparative study of the variables, matched group design was opted. The findings reveal that there is significant difference in the stress levels, coping strategies and personality type among executives with and without CHD. Executives with CHD had more job stress, ineffective coping strategies and type A personality in comparison to the executives without CHD. Further, the practice of progressive muscle relaxation brings significant reduction in the stress levels of CHD patients.
