Implication
Prompt DCCV stabilizes unstable intraoperative AF in high-risk valve patients; case report leaves open optimal prevention strategies.

Population
Patients with atrial fibrillation, specifically focusing on anaphylaxis-induced atrial fibrillation during anesthesia.
Anaphylaxis-induced histamine production and immune system activation may play a significant role in the development of atrial fibrillation, particularly during anesthesia.
