Post-coital Hemoptysis Due to Silent Coronary Artery Disease

Abstract

Ahmed M Shafter and Rachid Elkoustaf

Hemoptysis after physical activity is a quite common presenting symptom. However, hemoptysis during/after sexual intercourse is a rare condition, and cardiac decompensation has been mostly implicated in the etiology This is because, exertion associated with sexual stimulation and coitus can cause transient hemoptysis secondary to a transient elevation of pulmonary capillary pressure with subsequent rupture of pulmonary capillaries and hemoptysis.

We present a 56-year-old Caucasian male, with a past medical history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity and sleep apnea who presented with h haemoptysis of four-months duration. Echocardiography revealed normal left ventricular systolic function, with Ejection Fraction EF of 55%. Grade I diastolic dysfunction, mild mitral regurgitation and aortic regurgitation.

Ischemic mitral regurgitation is a complication of coronary artery disease. It is a dynamic lesion and its severity may increase with different forms of exercise leading to flash pulmonary edema. This case highlights that silent coronary artery disease can present as post-coital hemoptysis in middle aged patients, the importance to rule out underlying cardiac pathologies through an extensive cardiac workup in patients presenting with post-coital haemoptysis.
