Lack of time and patient lack of readiness were noted as the highest perceived barriers preventing the Cardiologists from discussing sexual health problems with cardiac patients.Conclusion: The cardiologists in Cairo and Dubai tent to underestimate the scale of sexual problem in Coronary heart disease patients, findings from our study suggest that there is a need to increase the awareness of this devastating problem among the cardiologists, make specific guide lines in the area of sexual consultation available for practice and further training in this area.
