| fibrillation |
Erratic electrical activity of the heart. Atrial fibrillation, or erratic electrical activity of the upper chambers, causes irregular contraction of the lower chamber and palpitations, characterized by the feeling of galloping horses. Although palpitations can be disconcerting, atrial fibrillation is generally not a serious condition. Ventricular fibrillation, contrastly, results in inefficient pumping of the lower chamber and can cause death if it is not treated immediately.
