Can History Of Atrial Fibrillation Cause Any Difficulty During Conception?

Three years ago I had a baby and the following day I was rushed to the heart unit and ICU and I was diagnosed with atrial fibrilation. After ACG's I was cleared and did not have to be put on any medications to control it. I would like to have another baby, what are the chances of this happening again?

Atrial flutter may have occurred as transient phenomenon.
But get your 2 D ECHO to see for any organic heart lesion.
There is possibility of developing peri partum cardiomyopathy or atrial flutter in case there underlying heart lesion or conduction defects.
