Sex does not increase heart attack survivors' risk of having another attack, except in rare cases, a new study finds.
The finding may provide comfort for countless heart attack survivors.
Many are unsure whether the vigorous activity of sex can trigger another heart attack, and there is limited and some contradictory data on the issue, the researchers said.
But the new study shows that the amount of activity generated by sex is roughly equal to that of climbing two staircases or taking a brisk walk, and most people with heart disease are safe to resume sexual activity following a heart attack, they said.
