Infertility treatments such as IVF (in vitro fertilization) are linked to a higher risk of heart disease and pregnancy complications, including preterm births, a new study found.
"Advancing maternal age -- specifically being age 35 and older -- increases the risk of having or developing conditions, such as chronic high blood pressure, that increase the risk of pregnancy complications," said study author Dr. Pensée Wu, senior lecturer and honorary consultant obstetrician and subspecialist in maternal fetal medicine at Keele University School of Medicine in Staffordshire, UK, in a statement.
