Fibrillation Ventricular

Ventricular fibrillation is a heart rhythm disorder in which the ventricles of the heart contract irregularly and chaotically. This condition can lead to serious complications such as heart failure, cardiac arrest, and even death.

The causes of ventricular fibrillation can vary, including myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathies, electrolyte imbalances, and other heart diseases. Symptoms of atrial fibrillation may include rapid heartbeat, dizziness, weakness, and shortness of breath.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is used to diagnose ventricular fibrillation. If the ECG shows irregular ventricular contractions, this may indicate fibrillation.

Treatment for ventricular fibrillation may include the use of medications such as beta blockers and antiarrhythmic drugs. In some cases, a pacemaker or defibrillator may need to be implanted to normalize the heart rhythm.

Ventricular fibrillation is a serious condition that can lead to life-threatening complications. Therefore, it is important to diagnose and treat this condition promptly.
