‘ Stable’ cardiac patients get green light for sex

The American Heart Association said Thursday that research shows sexual activity can be safe for cardiac patients with stable conditions. The research, published in the journal Circulation, said that while medical consultations and assessments would be advised for patients with more serious conditions, those with controlled symptoms should have a green light to have sex. “Sexual activity is an important component of patient and partner quality of life, and it reasonable for most patients with ( cardiovascular disease) to engage in sexual activity,” reads the study.
