Can a man with a fast heart rate have sex?

The incidence of heart disease in our country is now becoming higher and higher. Millions of people die from heart disease every year in our country, especially for some boys. Because they have been working hard all their lives, they are more likely to suffer from heart disease. The early symptom of heart disease is that the heart beats faster, which is what we call a fast heart rate. So, can men with a fast heart rate have sex?

Heart rate is the professional term used to describe the cardiac cycle, which refers to the number of times the heart beats per minute. There are significant individual differences in the heart rate of normal adults at rest, with an average of around 75 beats per minute (between 60 and 100 beats per minute). Heart rate may vary depending on age, gender, physiological condition, and health status. Among adults, women generally have a slightly faster heart rate than men. The same person also has a certain degree of heart rate variability. The heart rate slows down when resting or sleeping, and speeds up when exercising or emotionally excited. Under the influence of certain drugs or neurohumoral factors, the heart rate can speed up or slow down. People who regularly engage in physical labor and exercise usually have a slower heart rate.

A heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute in an adult is called tachycardia. There are two types of tachycardia: physiological and pathological. Physiological tachycardia is very common. Many factors affect heart rate, such as changes in body position, physical activity, physical exercise, emotional anxiety, excitement, fear, excitement, drinking, smoking, drinking tea, etc., which can cause the heart rate to increase. Pathological tachycardia can be divided into sinus tachycardia, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, etc., and you need to go to the hospital to find out the relevant causes. Among pathological tachycardias, some are caused by diseases of the heart itself, such as coronary heart disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, rheumatic heart disease, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy; some are caused by other systemic diseases, such as anemia, hyperthyroidism, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

① Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: repeated attacks that can spontaneously return to normal (sinus rhythm) each time. ② Persistent atrial fibrillation: lasts less than 1 year and cannot be converted to sinus rhythm on its own, but can be converted to sinus rhythm by drugs and electrical defibrillation. ③ Permanent atrial fibrillation: lasts longer than 1 year and cannot be converted to sinus rhythm on its own. Drugs and electrical defibrillation cannot convert it to sinus rhythm, or even if it is converted to sinus rhythm, atrial fibrillation will recur soon and persist.

Atrial fibrillation can occur regardless of gender, age, or the presence or absence of organic heart disease, but generally speaking, it occurs more frequently in men than in women, and in the elderly than in the young. The vast majority of cases occur in patients with organic heart disease or other organic diseases, and in a few, no clear cause can be found. Normal people may experience it when they are emotionally excited, have a cold, are tired, have insomnia, after surgery, exercise, or drink a lot of alcohol. A large amount of statistical data shows that the three main causes of atrial fibrillation are hypertensive heart disease, coronary heart disease and rheumatic heart disease, accounting for more than 75% of the total number of atrial fibrillation cases.

Atrial fibrillation is also common in hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, constrictive pericarditis, sick sinus syndrome, cardiomyopathy (such as dilated cardiomyopathy, alcoholic cardiomyopathy), myocarditis, cor pulmonale, congenital heart disease, and after cardiac surgery. For some patients with atrial fibrillation, no clear cause can be found. This is more common in young people. This type of atrial fibrillation is called idiopathic atrial fibrillation or lone atrial fibrillation.
