Gangnam Style parodies the lives of affluent residents of the country and is accompanied by vigorous dance moves, mimicking riding a horse.
Prof Bernard Keavney, consultant cardiologist at Newcastle University, told The Daily Telegraph that men should be "measured" at Christmas parties and warned them not to "stray outside your comfort zone".
He said: "The chance that you'll come to grief is very small. But as with any form of untypical exercise that you're not used to taking, be somewhat measured.
"Let the lady dance around you."
