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.
Treatment of 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.
