Why are extramarital affairs a risk factor for coronary heart disease?
An extramarital affair can contribute to a cardiac event. Eighty percent of post-sex heart attack deaths occur in people following sex in a hotel room with someone other than their spouse. It is believed that this is due to higher levels of arousal, resulting in a sudden and sustained heart rate that an unconditioned heart is unable to tolerate. Sex with one's regular partner is not associated with a heart attack.
