So says the American Heart Association in its first scientific statement on sexual activity and cardiovascular disease, published online by Circulation. “It’s reasonably safe for most people with stable disease to engage in sexual activity,” says Glenn Levine, a professor of medicine at Baylor College of Medicine and lead author of the statement. The risk of suffering a heart event during sex is “minuscule” because sex usually simply doesn’t last very long, according to the statement. (Certainly it typically doesn’t last as long as a marathon, where the risk of cardiac arrest was recently pegged as very small.) Sex is the cause of less than 1% of all acute heart attacks, the review said. And autopsy studies suggest that only between 0.6% and 1.7% of sudden deaths are related to sexual activity. http://www.safetyissues.com/site/men/radiation_therapy_helps_lower_prostate_cancer_deaths.html Men Tue, 16 Dec 2008 21:23:00 -0700 American men with locally advanced prostate cancer can take heart: a Swedish study has found that a treatment regime that combines hormones with radiation therapy doubles the survival rate of patients with this type of cancer. http://www.safetyissues.com/site/men/vitamin_e_selenium_no_aid_vs_prostate_cancer.html Men Sat, 01 Nov 2008 23:11:00 -0600 Vitamin E and selenium supplements had offered hope of a cheaper treatment method against prostate cancer, but it turns out they do not prevent or lower the risk of the dreaded disease, according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI). http://www.safetyissues.com/site/men/does_prostate_cancer_surgery_really_help.html Men Thu, 14 Aug 2008 02:51:00 -0600 Men who undergo radical prostatectomy, or surgical removal of the prostate after being diagnosed with prostate cancer, have less risk of dying compared to those who take the watchful waiting approach, according to a continuing study of men in the Scandinavian Prostate Cancer Group.
