Abstract:
With the continuous rise in the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the prolongation of life expectancy of patients living with the disease, improving the quality of life of patients has become an important management goal. Sexual life, as a basic physiological need in human survival, is also a key component of the quality of life for CVD patients. However, due to the impact of the disease, sexual health issues are common among CVD patients and have adverse effects on their quality of life, mental health, and marital relationships, which should be addressed promptly. This article reviews the definitions related to sexual health, the current research on sexual health in CVD patients, research tools related to sexual health, influencing factors of sexual health in CVD patients, and sexual health interventions, aiming to provide a reference for clinical research in this area.
