The increased incidence of cardiovascular morbidity in women of childbearing age has become a trend in recent years, and therefore an interest has arisen in the female problem of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The aim of the study was to analyze the data available in the modern scientific literature on the possible pathophysiological mechanisms of an association between the main types of infertility and the risk of early cardiovascular events. The data of foreign and Russia papers on the research topic, which had been found in Pubmed and eLIBRARY and published in the last 7 years, were analyzed. According to current data, infertility is associated with cardiovascular disease. Understanding the pathogenetic mechanisms expands the possibilities for improving the mechanisms for providing comprehensive care to women with reproductive dysfunction.
