The use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) is growing, both to assist individuals with infertility and for fertility preservation. Individuals with cardiovascular disease (CVD), or risk factors for CVD, are increasingly using ART. Thus, knowing how to care for patients undergoing ART is important for the cardiovascular clinician. In this scientific statement, we review the ART process and known short-term and long-term risks associated with ART that can adversely affect patients with CVD. We review current knowledge on risks from ART for specific cardiac conditions and provide a suggested approach to evaluating and counseling patients with CVD contemplating ART as well as suggested management before and during the ART process. Individuals with CVD are at increased risk for pregnancy complications, and management of this unique population has been discussed previously. The focus of this scientific statement is on ART. Therefore, discussions on risk assessment, counseling, and management of individuals with CVD during pregnancy are limited, and established guidelines are referenced.

Background: In the context of injectable biologic products approved or in development for chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), it is important to capture which treatment attributes matter most to patient and what trade-offs patients are willing to make.
Objectives: The CHOICE-CSU study aimed to quantify patient preferences toward injectable treatment attributes among patients with CSU, inadequately controlled by H1-antihistamines.
Methods: This was a two-phase cross-sectional patient preference study in adult patients with a diagnosis of CSU, inadequately controlled by H1-antihistamines.
