Sex Poses Surprising Low Risk For Heart Patients

From AP via Yahoo

I have been doing a lot of research on heart disease because
a friend had a quad bypass last year. I think it is time to share
some of it here.

"—Who's most at risk for sudden death related to sex?
Married men having affairs, often with younger women in unfamiliar settings.
Those circumstances can add to stress that may increase the risks,
evidence from a handful of studies suggests.

—Sex may be OK as soon as one week after a relatively mild heart attack,
if patients can walk up a few flights of stairs without discomfort."

It also says all doctors should talk with their patients about this.
So if they don't the patient can show them this article.

the waiting." Pete Seeger

Something the medical community has known about for centuries. Many hospitals I have worked in stated plainly that if a patient wanted to get it on with the spouse, and the Dr did not write to restrict, give them privacy.. even in the ICU.

Dont judge me because I sin differently than you.
If you want it sugar coated, dont ask me what i think! It would violate TOS.

One of the best scenes I ever had was with a friend who had had heart surgery less than two weeks ago. A little fear adds spice for me, and I was afraid he'd keel over, leaving me bound to the table. Visions of "Gerald's Game" flashed through my head.
