Arrhythmias in Pregnancy
2022, JACC: Clinical ElectrophysiologyCitation Excerpt :Secondary causes like congenital heart disease, valvular disease, alcohol abuse, medications (eg, terbutaline), electrolyte imbalance, and hyperthyroidism should be ruled out. Cardioversion does not compromise blood flow to the fetus but can cause uterine contractions (116). The risk of inducing fetal arrhythmias is small, and there is a theoretical risk of preterm labor with electrical intervention (54).
Arrhythmias and Pregnancy: Management of Preexisting and New-Onset Maternal Arrhythmias
2021, Cardiology ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Rhythm control can be accomplished with cardioversion and/or antiarrhythmic therapy. Cardioversion is safe in pregnancy and should be considered if AF does not terminate within 24 hours of onset.21,22 Cardioversion within 48 hours of AF onset does not negate the need for therapeutic anticoagulation.23
