A recent study has said that all those women who give birth after fertility treatment are not vulnerable to increased death risk or major cardiovascular problems.

The study observed the long-term risk of stroke, heart attack and heart failure following fertility therapy. The researchers tracked 1.1 million women after delivery. All those women who were studied had undergone delivery 17-year follow-up period in Ontario.

According to the lead author, Dr. Jacob Udell, "The speculated association between fertility therapy and subsequent cardiovascular disease is not surprising given that more women are waiting until an older age to have children, when they are at greater risk of developing heart disease".

The research has been conducted by the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES) and Women's College Hospital. This is the maiden study that has described about fertility medications not leading to any increased risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Earlier it was expected that fertility treatments can result in short-term pregnancy complications. Before this study, follow-up of fertility treatment was linked to an increase in pregnancy complications. This encapsulated 30% rise of diabetes in pregnancy, and also 16% increase in placental disorders. Some researchers had associated it to 10% increase in pre-eclampsia. But now the study has negated the previous observations.
