A new study suggests that bonking-related cardiac death risks for men & women < 50 years are very low. Some good news for once!

Younger individuals (aged <50 years) with cardiac conditions, such as cardiomyopathies and channelopathies, may be concerned about their risk for sudden death during sexual intercourse because of the catecholaminergic surge that accompanies this activity ... Sexual activity was involved in 0.2% of all SCDs [sudden cardiac deaths] in a large cohort of decedents who underwent comprehensive autopsy. Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome and cardiomyopathies were predominant underlying causes, reflecting the age of the cohort of decedents that we assessed.
We believe these findings provide some reassurance that engaging in sexual activity is relatively safe in patients with a cardiac condition, especially in younger (aged <50 years) individuals.
