Sexual activity and function in the year after an acute myocardial infarction among younger women and men in the United States and Spain.
The purpose of this study was to describe patterns of sexual activity and function and identify indicators of the probability of loss of sexual activity in the year after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The investigators found that impaired sexual activity and incident sexual function problems were prevalent and more common among young women than men in the year after AMI. They suggested that attention to modifiable risk factors and physician counseling may improve outcomes.
