Ventricular fibrillation -- Surgery : Ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation ablation : the state of the art based on the VeniceChart international consensus document / edited by Andrea Natale, Antonio Raviele
A potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmia that is characterized by uncoordinated extremely rapid firing of electrical impulses (400-600/min) in HEART VENTRICLES. Such asynchronous ventricular quivering or fibrillation prevents any effective cardiac output and results in unconsciousness (SYNCOPE). It is one of the major electrocardiographic patterns seen with CARDIAC ARREST
