"Sex triggered a life-threatening stroke in a healthy 35-year-old Illinois woman, her doctors report. In an interview granted to WebMD by Jose Miller, professor and chair of the neurology department at Loyola University, Chicago, the woman's symptoms were typical of an unusual kind of "cryptogenic" stroke.
These types of sex-related strokes are rare and occur when several risk factors converge. In this particular case, a small opening in the wall between the two upper chambers of the heart, also known as patent foramen ovale or PFO, was the culprit. Blood flow through a PFO increases when a person strains -- such as during orgasm."

In one long holiday weekend we found 5 reasons to "never have sex again" all were CVA's and MI's. It happens & needless to say not one of us really saw the risk worth trading the benefit! Makes you a more pleasant person! LOL!
Yea definitely not detering me from any adventures sera. But still...there is always that risk...but if you must die I guess its the way to go!
I'd say that such occurrences are very rare. Therefore, this does not deter me from having sex with my boyfriend.
