Cardiac arrest — when your heart suddenly stops pumping — is a killer in the U.S., but at least it probably won't happen during sex.*
Scientists at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute analyzed over 4,500 sudden cardiac events that took place between 2002 and 2015 in Portland, Oregon, as part of the long-term Oregon Sudden Unexpected Death Study. Their results, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (http://www.onlinejacc.org/content/70/20/2599?download=true&sso=1&sso_redirect_count=1&access_token=), show that less than one percent of these cardiac arrest cases, 34 in total, were related to sex, occurring either during sex or within an hour afterwards.
