Does a sexual therapy module improve the frequency and quality of sexual activity in male patients participating in phase 2 cardiac rehabilitation after a cardiac event?
Absolute Event Rate: 87% vs 50%
A dedicated sexual therapy module added to cardiac rehabilitation significantly improves the resumption and quality of sexual activity in male patients after a cardiac event.
Klein et al. (2007) conducted an RCT in cardiac event (MI/ACS/CABG) (n=92). sexual therapy module vs. cardiac rehabilitation without sexual therapy was evaluated on resumption of sexual activity within 1 month. A sexual therapy module added to cardiac rehabilitation increased the resumption of sexual activity within 1 month compared to standard rehabilitation alone (87% vs. 50%).
