Objective: To study hemodynamic changes along controlled ovarian stimulation in women undergoing in vitro fertilization. Study design: Prospective observational cohort study conducted at Mother and Child Department of University Hospital Federico II, in Naples, Italy, between April 2021 and July 2022. Sixty-eight infertile patients undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation with gonadotropin, antagonist protocol and a fresh embryo transfer were included. Haemodynamic assessment was carried out using UltraSonic Cardiac Output Monitor at baseline (T1), estradiol peak (T2), fresh embryo-transfer day (T3). To evaluate relationships between quantitative variables and groups a Student T test for independent data was assessed. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the differences between the means of three time points (T1, T2 and T3) for quantitative variables. A mixed-model analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the differences between groups, among time points (T1, T2 and T3). Results: Sixty-eight patients were included. Significant differences over the three time points have been observed for CO (f = 3.78 l/min; p = 0.025), SVI (f = 3.56 ml/m2;p = 0.013), and RSVI (f = 4.84 dscm-5 m2; p = 0.009). No significant differences in trends have been found between beta hCG positive and beta hCG negative groups. There were no significant differences in maternal hemodynamic parameters at time-point T3 between patients treated with hCG 10,000 UI and with Triptorelin. Patients considered at increased risk of hyperstimulation reported a significant increase in SVI at baseline (26.9 ± 9.0 mL/m2 vs 21.9 ± 7.0 mL/m2; p = 0.010). Conclusion: According to the results of our study, during controlled ovarian stimulation with antagonist protocol, patients undergo significant changes in maternal cardiovascular parameters over a very short period.

Abstract

Objective: To study hemodynamic changes along controlled ovarian stimulation in women undergoing in vitro fertilization. Study design: Prospective observational cohort study conducted at Mother and Child Department of University Hospital Federico II, in Naples, Italy, between April 2021 and July 2022. Sixty-eight infertile patients undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation with gonadotropin, antagonist protocol and a fresh embryo transfer were included. Haemodynamic assessment was carried out using UltraSonic Cardiac Output Monitor at baseline (T1), estradiol peak (T2), fresh embryo-transfer day (T3). To evaluate relationships between quantitative variables and groups a Student T test for independent data was assessed. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the differences between the means of three time points (T1, T2 and T3) for quantitative variables. A mixed-model analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the differences between groups, among time points (T1, T2 and T3). Results: Sixty-eight patients were included. Significant differences over the three time points have been observed for CO (f = 3.78 l/min; p = 0.025), SVI (f = 3.56 ml/m2;p = 0.013), and RSVI (f = 4.84 dscm-5 m2; p = 0.009). No significant differences in trends have been found between beta hCG positive and beta hCG negative groups. There were no significant differences in maternal hemodynamic parameters at time-point T3 between patients treated with hCG 10,000 UI and with Triptorelin. Patients considered at increased risk of hyperstimulation reported a significant increase in SVI at baseline (26.9 ± 9.0 mL/m2 vs 21.9 ± 7.0 mL/m2; p = 0.010). Conclusion: According to the results of our study, during controlled ovarian stimulation with antagonist protocol, patients undergo significant changes in maternal cardiovascular parameters over a very short period.
