ECG findings in Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) Chaotic irregular deflections of varying amplitude. fibrillation (VF) was likely recognized as early as BCE when the Ebers Papyrus2 described key features of fibrillation as follows: “If the heart trembles, has little power Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a common, life-threatening arrhythmia responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. This includes a subset of arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF), premature ventricular contractions (PVC), and ventricular flutter. V-fib is an abnormal rhythm of the lower chambers of the heart (ventricles) that causes death if it isn’t treated within minutes. It is invariably fatal unless advanced life support is rapidly instituted. Without treatment, the condition is fatal within minutes. Due to challenges in safely mapping VF, a CPR indicates cardiopulmonary resuscitation; ET, endotracheal; IO, intraosseous; IV, intravenous; PEA, pulseless electrical activity; pVT, pulseless ventricular tachycardia; What is Ventricular Fibrillation (V-fib)? The electrical management of patients with ventricular arrhythmias and the prevention of sudden cardiac death: a report of the American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Arrhythmias originating from the ventricular myocardium or His-Purkinje system are grouped under ventricular arrhythmia (VA).
