Heart attack during sex four times more likely to be fatal

September 1, 2017  13:08

Heart-stopping sex really could be the end of the affair. Research just published shows men are four times more likely to die from a heart attack during sex than any other activity- mainly because their naked lovers are too embarrassed to call for help.

The French study found that heart problems during lovemaking are the most deadly.

Those who suffered cardiac arrests during intimate moments waited twice as long for resuscitation.

The differences in survival rates were found to be caused by delays as shocked wives - or perhaps mistresses - sought to cover their modesty before finding help.

The study by cardiac hospitals in Paris examined 246 cases in which men suffered a cardiac arrest during some form of physical activity.
