Abstract
A 28-year-old pregnant woman at 37 gestational weeks was
admitted to the hospital for childbirth. She experienced palpita tions since her 5th gestational month, and her ECG revealed atrial
tachycardia with a rate of 134 bpm (Fig. 1a). Negative P wave
in lead D1 and positive P wave in lead V1
suggested a left atrial
origin. She showed no clinical signs of heart failure
