Sexual act contributes to the onset of acute heart attack in only 0.9 percent of patients.
The relative risk of acute heart attack within two hours after sexual activity is 2.5. There is no increased risk of heart attack beyond this time period.
This risk is reduced in patients who undergo regular exercise. The risk is same irrespective of past history of heart disease.
