After a cardiovascular event, patients and their families often face numerous changes in their lives. Poorly addressing physical and psychological challenges can lead to an impaired quality of life. Sexuality is an important quality of life aspect to many patients and couples who can be negatively affected by a cardiovascular event. Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships. Time to resume sexual activity after myocardial revascularization surgery is a gap in cardiologic practice. We know from literature that coronary patients have decreased sexual activity. There are barriers from the medical environment such as lack of knowledge, confidence and training, and many others that arise from the patient's perspective, which do not allow generating a space to address sexual problems. This review aims to familiarize and update cardiologists, providing knowledge and resources to face the impact of myocardial revascularization surgery on the quality of sexual life, promoting multidisciplinary management among doctors and other health professionals.
心血管事件发生后，患者及其家属的生活往往会发生诸多变化。如果不能妥善应对身体和心理方面的挑战，可能会导致生活质量受损。对于许多患者和伴侣来说，性生活是生活质量的一个重要方面，而心血管事件可能会对其造成负面影响。性健康需要对性和性关系采取积极和尊重的态度。心肌血运重建手术后恢复性生活的时间是心脏病学实践中的一个空白。我们从文献中了解到，冠心病患者的性生活减少了。来自医疗环境的障碍有很多，例如缺乏知识、信心和培训等，还有一些是患者方面的原因，这些都不允许产生一个解决性问题的空间。本综述旨在让心脏病学家熟悉并更新相关知识，提供资源以应对心肌血运重建手术对性生活质量的影响，促进医生和其他健康专业人员之间的多学科管理。
