    The study assessed the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles.

  • 2

    Each additional ART cycle was linked to a modest increase in CVD risk, primarily due to thromboembolic events.

  • 3

    No clear increased risk of chronic hypertension was observed among women who underwent ART.

  • 4

    Programmed frozen ART cycles showed a stronger association with CVD risk compared to other types of cycles.

  • 5

    The findings suggest women undergoing ART may benefit from cardiovascular health monitoring.
