Sex does not appear to trigger a heart attack or increase your risk for a second one, suggests a study in the Sept. 21, 2015, issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Experts looked at 536 heart attack survivors ages 30 to 70 and evaluated their sexual activity in the 12 months prior to their heart attack. Sexual activity was divided into three categories: less than once a month, less than once a week, and once or more per week.
Only 0.7% reported having had sex within an hour before their heart attack. In comparison, more than 78% reported that their last sexual activity occurred more than 24 hours before their heart attack.
