Ventricular Fibrillation

Preferred Label : Ventricular Fibrillation;

NCIt synonyms : VF; VFib;

NCIt definition : A disorder characterized by an electrocardiographic finding of a rapid grossly irregular ventricular rhythm with marked variability in QRS cycle length, morphology, and amplitude. The rate is typically greater than 300 bpm. (CDISC);

Alternative definition : NICHD: An irregular heart rhythm, usually associated with a rapid rate, that is caused by abnormal electrical activity within the ventricles.; FDA: Arrhythmia characterized by chaotic contractions of the ventricular muscle.; CDISC: Ventricular Fibrillation is characterized by rapid, usually more than 300 bpm (cycle length: 180 ms or less), grossly irregular ventricular rhythm with marked variability in QRS cycle length, morphology, and amplitude.; CTCAE: A disorder characterized by a dysrhythmia without discernible QRS complexes due to rapid repetitive excitation of myocardial fibers without coordinated contraction of the ventricles.;
