Ventricular fibrillation and flutter - what does this mean
Ventricular fibrillation and flutter are life-threatening arrhythmias which occur when there is an abnormal electrical activity in the ventricles of the heart, causing them to quiver instead of pumping blood effectively. this can lead to a lack of oxygen to the brain and other organs, resulting in cardiac arrest.
What happens during the disease - ventricular fibrillation and flutter
Ventricular fibrillation and flutter is a type of arrhythmia in which the ventricles of the heart contract in a rapid and chaotic manner. this chaotic activity prevents the ventricles from effectively pumping blood to the rest of the body, leading to a decrease in blood pressure and oxygen delivery. ventricular fibrillation and flutter can be caused by a variety of triggers, including coronary artery disease, electrolyte or acid-base disturbances, drug toxicity, and even trauma or stress. in some cases, the cause is unknown.
