It has been found that the pulse rate becomes very high during sexual intercourse, often as high as 170 heart beats minute as against a normal of 70 to 80. For people recovering from a heart attack, this high pulse rate might be dangerous and they would have to be careful. It may even be advisable to keep a few nitroglycerine tablets handy in case of angina pains during intercourse. But as the strain of sexual intercourse, sexual intercourse may become important for the survival of a heart patient. In such cases, a great deal of adjustment has to be made between the couple. In order to avoid an undue rise in the pulse rate, the man or woman, depending on who is free from heart disease, would have to take the role of the active partner.
