Popis:	Introduction: Occurrence of tachycardias increase during pregnancy in line with the increased propensity to ectopic activity. Case presentation: We present a case of a 30-year-old woman in the 18th week of pregnancy with atrial tachycardia and tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy that was successfully treated with zero fluoroscopy catheter ablation. Discussion: The described method is safe and efficient and could be used in the future when drug refractory tachycardias occur during pregnancy.
