Couples those who are struggling to conceive, can have a body through In vitro fertilization (IVF). But according to a new research, IVF kids are at high risk of blood pressure. A research published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found a higher average blood pressure among teens born through IVF than in children conceived naturally.

An earlier study found that those conceived through the IVF were more likely to show signs of “premature aging” in the blood vessels: The researchers said that their arteries tended to be stiffer in response to blood flow.

But according to the experts, the latest findings suggest that this can translate into early cases of high blood pressure.

Dr. Ki Park, an interventional cardiologist at the University of Florida Health, who was not involved in the research reportedly said that he thinks that this is a really important study.

Moreover, teens born through IVF were more likely to have blood pressures high enough to be diagnosed with hypertension. Eight of the IVF teens were diagnosed with hypertension, compared to one in the control group. Thus, the researchers advise parents of children conceived with IVF to concentrate on other heart disease risk factors.

In adults, a blood pressure above 120/80 is considered high. But in children and adolescents, a normal blood pressure depends on age and height. If a youngster has a higher blood pressure than 90 per cent to 95 per cent of other males or females his or her age and height, then the child may have high blood pressure.

The IVF teens had higher blood pressure, on average than their friends (119/71 versus 115/69).
