Interest in comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation over the past 25 years spawned a series of small investigations concerning the heart rate, blood pressure, and ischemic response to sexual intercourse. This information was adequate for advising patients about return to sexual activity after a myocardial infarction or cardiac surgery. However, the introduction of medications for erectile dysfunction enabled impotent cardiac patients to engage in sexual activity and has highlighted the need for more detailed information concerning cardiovascular physiology during coitus. Review of the medical literature indicates a remarkable paucity of such data despite dramatic advances in most other aspects of cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology. This brief paper gives an overview of the current knowledge of the cardiovascular response to sexual activity and, within the framework of advances in cardiology, highlights areas where it appears important to fill in the knowledge gap.
在过去25年里，对综合心脏康复的关注引发了一系列关于心率、血压以及性交时缺血反应的小型研究。这些信息足以指导心肌梗死或心脏手术后的患者恢复性活动。然而，勃起功能障碍药物的出现使患有性功能障碍的心脏病患者能够进行性活动，并凸显了在性交期间获取有关心血管生理学更详细信息的必要性。医学文献综述表明，尽管心血管生理学和病理生理学的大多数其他方面取得了显著进展，但此类数据却极为匮乏。本文简要概述了目前关于性活动心血管反应的知识，并在心脏病学进展的框架内，强调了填补知识空白显得尤为重要的领域。
