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 palpitations. 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 CR - Adamson DL, Nelson-Piercy C.
