Abstract:
Unfounded fears and misconceptions about postcoronary sex can cause much anxiety in an individual and his partner. Hypertension may complicate the clinical picture, and fear of a catastrophic episode may haunt partner as well as patient. Needed medications may further confuse them both by causing chemical impotence or ejaculatory problems in some cases. A good precoronary sexual history can lead to an open dialogue on plans, modifications, and concerns about resuming the patient's sexual exchange upon leaving the hospital. For holistic rehabilitation, good sex information is essential.
