Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of death globally. A recent body of epidemiological and clinical studies in human have provided evidence of association between Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) and various cardiovascular disorders. There have been debates about the emergence of these disorders from the subfertility of parents undergoing the procedure or the processes involved in ARTs. ARTs involve embryo transfer and in vitro embryo culture during the periconceptional period, which is a critical period of development and any manipulations during this period can have long-term effects. Many experimental studies in animal models of ART have shown that the processes involved in ART may contribute to increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, the mechanisms causing these diseases remain to be identified.
