The analysis included 8 studies with 25,856 children taken from IVF techniques and a total of 2289 with congenital heart defects.

Congenital heart defects were found in IVF / ICSI group at 1.30% and 0.68% respectively.

The main author of the study, Paolo Cavoretto, said: "We believe that IVF pregnancy or ICSI technology may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease as a result of early placental dysfunction; This theory needs to be demonstrated in other future studies ".

This study appears in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
