Ventricular fibrillation is a life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia characterized by chaotic, uncoordinated contractions of the heart's ventricles. The heart stops pumping blood effectively, leading to sudden cardiac arrest. Ventricular fibrillation is a medical emergency that requires immediate intervention, typically through defibrillation to restore a normal heart rhythm. Research in this area focuses on understanding the underlying causes of ventricular fibrillation, developing new treatment strategies, and improving outcomes for patients experiencing this dangerous condition.
