Overview
The presence of atrial fibrillation is rare in pregnancy and has an identifiable underlying etiology such as mitral stenosis,[1] congenital heart disease,[2] or hyperthyroidism.[3] Digoxin, beta blocker or non-dihydropyridine CCB may be used to control the ventricular rate.[4][5][6] Quinidine has been shown to be safe in pregnancy and remains the drug of choice for pharmacological cardioversion of AF in pregnancy.[7] In cases of hemodynamic instability, direct-current cardioversion may be performed without fetal damage.[8]
ACCF/AHA/HRS 2011 Guidelines Management of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation- Pregnancy (DO NOT EDIT) [8][9]
| Class I |
| "1. Digoxin, a beta blocker, or a non dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist is recommended to control the rate of ventricular response in pregnant patients with AF. (Level of Evidence: C) " |
| "2. Direct-current cardioversion is recommended in pregnant patients who become hemodynamically unstable due to AF. (Level of Evidence: C) " |
| "3. Protection against thromboembolism is recommended throughout pregnancy for all patients with AF (except those with lone AF and/or low thromboembolic risk). Therapy (anticoagulant or aspirin) should be chosen according to the stage of pregnancy. (Level of Evidence: C) " |
| Class IIb |
| "1. A combination of digoxin and either a beta blocker, diltiazem, or verapamil is reasonable to control the heart rate both at rest and during exercise in patients with AF. (Level of Evidence: B) " |
| "2. It is reasonable to use ablation of the arterioventricular (AV) node or accessory pathway to control heart rate when pharmacological therapy is insufficient or associated with side effects.(Level of Evidence: B) " |
| "3. Administration of an oral anticoagulant may be considered during the second trimester for pregnant patients with AF at high thromboembolic risk. (Level of Evidence: C) " |
| "4. Administration of quinidine or procainamide may be considered to achieve pharmacological cardioversion in hemodynamically stable patients who develop AF during pregnancy. (Level of Evidence: C) " |
