Sexuality is an indispensable part of life. When a problem is encountered related to this topic, the quality of life is negatively affected. Therefore, every problem related to sexuality is extremely private and important to an individual. This study aims to investigate the use of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) for advanced assessment of @entity1 with known or suspected @entity453 , @entity65 , and in the intermediate risk group for @entity168 . The study included 250 @entity1 (150 male, 100 female, mean age 54  12.10) sent by the Cardiology Clinic to the Nuclear Medicine Clinic for MPS due to suspected @entity65 ( @entity65 ). The questionnaire study was applied by two methods as face-to-face interviews or online. Data on sociodemographic characteristics and @entity65 together with risk factors for sexual activity were collected using a general information form. @entity1 were divided into three categories of risk depending on major risk factors for @entity65 : low, intermediate, and high risk. On comparing the risk scores between the groups, it was seen that there was a statistically clear reduction in the intermediate risk group of @entity1 with @entity168 according to MPS scoring. MPS is a cost-effective, reliable, and accurate non-invasive diagnostic method necessary for routine use to assess @entity65 and in the intermediate risk group for @entity168 .
