Abstract
Hemoptysis associated with sexual arousal is thought to be secondary to cardiac dysfunction brought on by the physiologic stress of sexual activity. A patient who presented with hemoptysis occurring only during episodes of sexual stimulation was subsequently found to have cardiac amyloidosis.
