| 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.
