Cardiovascular health in adults conceived with assisted reproductive technology

Status: Recruiting

The purpose of this study is to better understand heart and blood vessel health in adults conceived through assisted reproductive technology (such as IVF) compared to adults conceived naturally. Participants will complete one study visit lasting approximately 3–4 hours. During the visit, participants will complete questionnaires, have basic health measurements taken, and complete non-invasive tests that assess blood pressure, blood vessel function, and circulation. Researchers hope the findings will improve understanding of long-term cardiovascular health in adults conceived through assisted reproductive technology.
