Maternal Risk of Cardiovascular Disease After Use of Assisted Reproductive Technologies.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The use of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) is steadily increasing worldwide. The outcomes associated with treatment for an individual's long-term health, including risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), remain largely unknown, due to the small number of studies and their limited follow-up time.
