Key result
Synchronized direct-current cardioversion successfully treated atrial fibrillation in a pregnant patient with valvular heart disease under maternal and fetal ECG monitoring.
Synchronized direct-current cardioversion can be successfully performed for atrial fibrillation during pregnancy with maternal and fetal ECG monitoring.
Supports feasibility of synchronized DC cardioversion for AF in pregnancy with monitoring; leaves open need for prospective safety data.
