Abstract
1 , Vedat Davutoglu 1 , Ibrahim Sari 1 ABSTRACT Introduction: Complaints of palpitations during pregnancy are common and often follow a benign clinical course. Tachycardia requiring intervention occurs in about 0.2-0.3% of these patients. Case Report: A pregnant 27-year-old with a history of rheumatic mitral valve disease was admitted with complaints of palpita- tions. Patient developed new onset atrial fibrillation and, with the implemented successful direct current electrical cardioversion, returned to sinus rhythm. Conclusion: Electrical cardioversion, applied with attention to placement with low-joule and foetuses kept as far as possible away from the pad, is considered to be safe in pregnant women with arrhythmia requiring cardioversion.
