Conception via ART linked with higher risk of cardiac events, clots
Researchers have drawn on a large US database to demonstrate women’s increased risk of morbidity in the peripartum period
Women who conceive through assisted reproductive technology have almost double the risk of heart failure during delivery admissions than those who conceive naturally, US doctors say.
Their population-based study of 46 million deliveries over an 11-year period also suggests an elevated risk of other cardiovascular (CV) complications such as pre-eclampsia, arrhythmias, and venous thromboembolism (VTE).
