Abstract

The risks associated with sexual activity relate in part to the pathophysiology of the cardiovascular response to sexual activity. This review addresses this subject and reviews studies that directly address the cardiovascular risk associated with sexual activity.

These levels were not suggestive of significant cardiovascular stress during sexual activity.

Myocardial oxygen cost of the sexual activity was suggested to be equivalent to climbing two flights of stairs.

Authors studied heart rates, blood pressure, and VO2 in healthy men during four specified sexual activities, two coital and two noncoital. They concluded that higher energy expenditures were required during coital acts compared with noncoital, and peak levels were attained during orgasm.

Circulation 1995, 92:1720–17125. These investigators studied the activities (by recall during an interview on the day of their MI) that preceded their MI and during a prior non-MI day. Coitus was noted to be more common in the 2 hours preceding the MI than on the non-MI day, as was an episode of anger or of physical exertion.

Determinants of Myocardial Infarction Onset Study Investigators. JAMA 1996, 275:1405–1409. This paper concluded that sexual activity can trigger acute MI. However, relative risk and absolute risk are low and extremely low, respectively. The study also noted a reduced relative risk of coitus triggering an acute MI in patients who exercised regularly, suggesting role of exercise training in reducing the risk of triggering an MI with coitus.
