What types of sexual activities should be avoided by people with heart conditions?
user
People with heart conditions should avoid any sexual activities that increase their heart rate or cause greater strain on the heart, such as engaging in intercourse while exceeding their target heart rate. These activities may need to be restricted or avoided altogether in order to prevent complications. Additionally, those with a pacemaker should not indulge in certain sexual activities that might interfere with the signal received by the device such as touching near the device site. Lastly, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption should also be avoided as they can significantly raise your risk of developing serious complications related to heart disease during and after sexual activity.

What types of sexual activities should be avoided by people with heart conditions?
user
People with heart conditions should avoid sexual activities that increase exertion, like intense intercourse or exercising during sex. Exertion can cause increased blood pressure and stress on the heart which may be unsafe for those with heart conditions. It is also important to limit activities such as bondage and rough sex which can increase excitement to unsafe levels in those with certain heart conditions. In some cases, extreme temperature changes from activities such as showers or hot tubs can cause irregular heart rhythms and should be avoided. Finally, any sexual activity that involves the use of potentially-dangerous objects—including drugs or alcohol—should always be avoided due to the risk of serious injury or death from these substances being used irresponsibly.
