Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common types of arrhythmia. It can be associated with the worse clinical presentation and poor outcome. It is established that the physiological adaptation during pregnancy lead to hemodynamic changes and results in an increased risk of atrial fibrillation and poor clinical tolerance. The therapeutic approach in pregnant women with new-onset AF should be generally based on the same principles that are applied in non-pregnant women. As it is stated in the guidelines, electrical cardioversion is considered in pregnant women with atrial fibrillation, pharmacological cardioversion is not superior in this case. The amount of current that reaches the uterus is small. In any case, the fetal heart rate should be routinely monitored during cardioversion.
