#AskDrKK: Which position is better for sex in heart patients?

#DrKKAnswers:
There is no difference in heart rate (114 vs 117) or blood pressure (163/81 vs 161/77 mmHg) between man on top or man on bottom [1]. However there is slightly lower minute oxygen consumption for men in the supine position, but this lasts only for a brief period during orgasm [2].
