Sex and Your Heart: The Good and the Bad

Wednesday, February 10, 2010

The WebMD Heart Beat In recognition of American Heart Month, WebMD heart health expert James Beckerman, MD, answers common questions about heart disease. Good News for Some, Bad for Others A few weeks ago, the American Journal of Cardiology reported that men having sex twice a week had about half the risk of developing heart disease as those having sex just once a month. But before you head to your doctor for a new "prescription," that's not the whole story. For example, sex may be a good marker for good health, but sexual activity -- like any other strenuous activity or intense exercise -- can actually be risky by elevating heart rate, blood pressure, and stress, which could lead to possible heart trouble. So is sexual activity good or bad for your health? These guidelines may help you find out. -- James Beckerman, MD Rewind: How Men's and Women's Heart Attack Symptoms Differ More Tips for a Stronger Ticker:   • Is There Sex After Heart Disease?   • 12 Heart Symptoms You Should Never Ignore   • Salt Attack: Surprising Foods That Are High in Sodium   • Common Sex-Drive Killers -- See Pictures Be in-the-Know, Stay in-the-Know WebMD newsletters deliver the latest news, tips and online tools directly to your inbox.

Heart Attack Signs Men and Women Shouldn't Ignore

Wednesday, February 3, 2010

The WebMD Heart Beat In recognition of American Heart Month, WebMD heart health expert James Beckerman, MD, answers common questions about heart disease. Men vs. Women: Do Heart Attack Symptoms Differ? Women and men may come from Venus and Mars, but Heart Month should remind us all that we have more in common than we might think -- particularly where our hearts are concerned. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in women and men worldwide. One in three women will develop heart disease, and one in 17 will have a heart attack or be hospitalized for heart disease. And, guys, the news isn't much better. More than one in three adult men will also develop some form of heart disease. But you can lower the odds of a potentially fatal heart attack. The sooner you're treated, the healthier the recovery. Take a look at this list of heart attack signs and remember that chest pain isn't always the only symptom -- especially for women. -- James Beckerman, MD Stay tuned: More Expert Heart Tips to Keep Your Ticker Ticking More Tips for a Stronger Ticker:   • Mad Men: How Anger Hurts Your Heart   • Middle-Aged Women: Heart Attacks Hit Home   • 24 Foods That Can Save Your Heart   • The De-stress Diet: Foods That Reduce Stress   • The Mediterranean Diet -- It's Nuts!
