This study ought to sex it up a little for silvers, who should not let a heart condition discourage them from getting intimate with their partners. New data available to the American Heart Association examined at Portland, Oregon, shows that of the 4,557 cardiac arrest cases that occurred between 2002 and 2015, only 1 per cent of silvers had a cardiac arrest triggered by sexual activity. In other words, there’s a very miniscule chance that elderly couples could experience cardiac arrest during sex. The study was published in the Journal of American Cardiology.
