1. The risk of acute heart attack after sexual act is reduced in patients who exercise regularly (1,2).
2. Regular physical exercise should be done at levels of ≥6 METs to reduce the risk (3).
3. The more regularly a person exercises the lower will be the heart attack risk.
4. Regular exercise also reduces the risk of heart attack and sudden death from heavy physical exertion (4,5)
5. Exercise training increases the aerobic capacity and decreases the peak heart rate in post-heart attack subjects engaging in sexual act (6).
