Background. This case report aims to discuss the management of heart failure due to mitral stenosis with complications of atrial fibrillation in pregnancy. Case presentations. A 35-year-old pregnant woman came to the ER M. Djamil Hospital with complaints of shortness of breath 3 days before being admitted to the hospital. Complaints of shortness of breath accompanied by palpitations felt fast and irregular, appeared suddenly when the patient was resting, and lasted continuously. Physical examination showed a pulse rate of 120-130x/minute, increased jugular venous pressure, and palpable cardiac ictus 1 finger lateral to the left midclavicular at the V intercostal space. ECG examination revealed atrial fibrillation- rapid ventricular response (AF RVR). The patient was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation- rapid ventricular response et causa suspect mitral stenosis NYHA Fc III, et causa rheumatic heart disease. Conclusion. The management of atrial fibrillation rapid ventricular response in this patient was done by giving digoxin 0.25 mg orally. Patients are given anticoagulants to prevent thromboembolic complications. This patient was advised to undergo valve replacement surgery considering the degree of stenosis, complications, and a thorough assessment.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an arrhythmia characterized by disorganized electrical activity of the atria, secondary to ectopic focal discharge, leading to ineffective contraction and rapid heart rate. AF is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is seen in approximately 1% to 2% of the population. Risk factors connected with AF include age, male gender, hypertension, valve disease, obesity, heart failure, diabetes, sleep apnea, cardiac surgery, smoking, alcohol consumption, and psychosocial stress. AF is associated with increased morbidity and mortality primarily due to coronary heart disease, heart failure, and stroke and has been associated with cognitive impairment and psychological distress. Treatment of AF should be focused on mitigating stroke risk as well as rate or rhythm control. AF is linked with depression, anxiety, and mood disorders as well as poor quality of life, but evidence suggests that these features can be improved with appropriate management. Further investigation is needed to inform and guide clinicians in therapeutic options and nonpharmacologic interventions for both the physical and psychiatric ramifications of AF.
