Sexual activity is an essential aspect of normal human function, well-being and quality of life. Sexual dysfunction is a common problem of increasing incidence in patients with cardiovascular disease, particularly younger and male, and continues over time in life, but these issues are not often discussed in daily practice both for a limited patient-physician relationship and clinicians' poor knowledge. Many studies suggest that the majority of patients and their partners have questions or concerns about their sexual health. Healthcare providers can help their patients if they are aware of the problem. Cardiologists need more knowledge and specific practical training in providing information on sexual concerns and sexual counseling to cardiac patients. This review aims at providing clinicians with most recent evidence about sexual dysfunction, and its management in patients with cardiac disease. Sexual couseling of cardiac patients is an important role for healthcare providers.
