What is ventricular fibrillation?
Ventricular fibrillation is an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia) where disorganized heart signals make the lower heart chambers (ventricles) twitch uselessly. This causes the heart to not pump blood to the rest of the body.
Symptoms of ventricular fibrillation
Losing consciousness
Responses gradually getting weaker
Face is persistently pale and lips are purplish-blue
Feeling breathless
Chest pain before losing consciousness
Questions your doctor may ask to check for ventricular fibrillation
Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose ventricular fibrillation
Have you currently regained consciousness after temporarily losing consciousness?
Are your responses gradually getting weaker?
Is your face pale and lips purplish-blue all the time?
Are you breathless or having hard time breathing?
Did you have any chest pain before losing consciousness?
Treatment for ventricular fibrillation
Emergency medical treatment is needed for ventricular fibrillation to prevent sudden cardiac death. The goal is to restore blood flow quickly to avoid organ and brain damage. Treatment options include cardiopulmonary resuscitation, defibrillation, and medications to control heart rhythm.
