Popis: | After a cardiovascular event, patients and their families often face numerous changes in their lives. Poorly addressing physical and psychological challenges can lead to an impaired quality of life. Sexuality is an aspect of quality of life that is important to many patients and couples who can be negatively affected by a cardiovascular event. Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships. The timing of return to sexual activity after myocardial revascularization surgery is a gap in cardiology practice. We know from the literature that coronary patients have a decrease in sexual activity. There are barriers from the medical environment such as lack of knowledge, confidence, and training, and many others that arise from the patient's perspective, which do not allow generating a space to address sexual problems. This review aims to familiarize and update the cardiologist, bringing knowledge and resources closer to the impact of myocardial revascularization surgery on the quality of sexual life of patients, always encouraging multidisciplinary management among doctors and other professionals in health. |
