The Issue of cardiac arrest will continue to dominate the headlines for weeks, following the sudden deaths of two media persons � Komla Dumor of the BBC and Samuel Hesse of Metro TV.
Indeed, the passing of the two media practitioners has raised eyebrows among the general public, and the question of how to �arrest� cardiac arrest has come up.
Refreshingly, sports and exercise medical officer Dr. Prince Pamboe has revealed that the best way to deal with heart attack is to engage in good sex.
Speaking in a telephone interview, he likened sexual activity to the use of a treadmill, a device for walking or running while staying in the same place.
He described sex as a physical activity during which the heart performs at its utmost, pumping more blood and contracting better.
Dr. Pamboe indicated that the effective pumping of the blood reduces the risk of stroke, depression and other related heart diseases.
�I have been told that somebody has misquoted me on twitter that I said sex was good for footballers. In fact, I was talking in the context of the general well-being of adults.
�First of all, it is a physical activity during which the heart rate is increased. It is also proven that during ejaculation, the body releases chemicals and hormones that help to fight depression, stroke and other related ailments,� he said.
Meanwhile, the Sport Doctor has hinted that all is set for Sport Medicine Seminar for masseurs scheduled for the Media Center of the Accra Stadium this Friday
