Overview
The heart pumps blood to the lungs, brain, and other organs. Interruption of the heartbeat for only a few seconds can lead to fainting (syncope) or cardiac arrest. Fibrillation is an uncontrolled twitching or quivering of muscle fibers (fibrils). When it occurs in the lower chambers of the heart, it is called ventricular fibrillation. During ventricular fibrillation, blood is not pumped from the heart. Sudden cardiac death results. The most common cause of VF is a heart attack. However, VF can occur whenever the heart muscle does not get enough oxygen.
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
- Aortic dissection
- Myocardial infarction
- Pericardial tamponade
- Pulmonary embolism
- Tension pneumothorax
- Unstable angina
Common Causes
- Cardiomyopathies
- Commotio cordis
- Congenital heart disease
- Electrocution
- Heart attack
- Heart surgery
- Narrowed coronary arteries
- Sudden cardiac death
