ventricular fibrillation

Preferred Label : ventricular fibrillation;

MeSH definition : 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.;

MeSH synonym : fibrillation, ventricular; fibrillations, ventricular; ventricular fibrillations;

MeSH annotation : does not confuse with VENTRICULAR FLUTTER;
