Can you still have sex after being cured of atrial fibrillation?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling discomfort in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. I'm asking, can I have sexual activity after being cured of atrial fibrillation?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if a patient develops atrial fibrillation, they may experience rapid ventricular rate, and at the same time, they may face the risk of thromboembolism. Therefore, atrial fibrillation patients must pay close attention to active anticoagulant treatment. This situation is not much related to sexual activity, but atrial fibrillation patients with poor cardiac function must be cautious about emotional excitement and avoid overexertion.
