Many myths surround sex after heart disease and stroke.
The most common one is that resuming sex often brings on a heart attack, stroke or sudden death. This simply isn't true. There's no reason why heart patients or stroke survivors can't resume usual sexual activity as soon as they feel ready to do so. Talk with your doctor if you have any concerns. Fears about performance and general depression are two psychological factors that can greatly reduce sexual interest and capacity.
