| ventricular fibrillation |
(VF): a very fast, irregular heart rate caused by abnormal impulses starting from several areas of the ventricle. The heart beats so fast that it is unable to pump any blood to the body. A heart in fibrillation may beat over 300 times a minute. A person in fibrillation passes out and needs immediate medical attention in order to live.

| ventricular fibrillation |
Abnormally fast heart rhythm from rapid and irregular contractions of the lower chambers of the heart. This is the most common cause of death in the early hours of a heart attack. Automatic defibrillators can sense this rhythm and deliver a shock to the heart in attempts to restore a normal and stable heart rhythm.

a heart rhythm disorder originating in the ventricles. It is an abnormally rapid heart rhythm that is unstable and irregular. Electronic signals move through the heart erratically and prevent it from beating properly. The patient may feel faint. If untreated, it may cause cardiac arrest.

| ventricular fibrillation |
In VF, the electrical signals that trigger the heartbeat become very fast and chaotic in the lower chambers of the heart. The heart no longer can pump blood to the brain or body. VF is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death.
