'Study finds varying cardiovascular risks associated with different hormonal contraceptives'

Observational study: "two million Danish women aged 15-49 from 1996 to 2021 to find out if using contemporary hormonal contraceptives increased the risk of first-time ischemic stroke and heart attack compared with no use"

"the combined oestrogen-progestin pill […] one extra stroke for every 4,760 women using the combined pill for one year, and one extra heart attack for every 10,000 women per year of use"

"Progestin-only contraceptives […] carried a slightly elevated risk, though lower than the combined pills. Non-oral combined contraceptives, such as the vaginal ring and patch, had higher associated risks"

"The progestin-only intrauterine system was the only hormonal contraceptive not linked to an increased risk"
