— HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) - Extra-marital sex can increase your risk of having a heart attack, a British cardiologist has told a congress on sexual health in the German city of Hamburg.

Graham Jackson, a heart specialist at St. Thomas's Hospital in London, found couples in long-term relationships were far less likely to have heart attacks while having sex than those having affairs or one-night stands.

"We found that 75 percent of the cases of sudden death during sexual activity involved people who were taking part in extra-marital sexual intercourse," Jackson told the European congress late Monday.

He added the danger of having heart failure during extra-marital sex was exacerbated even further when there was a significant difference in age between the partners.

Jackson said that even though heart rates accelerate considerably during all sexual activity, his research found "couples in long-term relationships in general hardly faced any risk of heart failure."

He said measurements on blood pressure and heart rates found sex is generally comparable to a brisk 20-minute walk, with an orgasm putting a strain on the heart similar to an ensuing walk up a flight of stairs.

"All in all, only one percent of all heart attacks are triggered by sexual activity," Jackson said.
