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 that may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
- Acute coronary ischemia[1]
- Pericardial tamponade
- Pulmonary embolism
- Tension pneumothorax
Common Causes
Common causes of ventricular fibrillation include:[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
- Cardiomyopathies
- Commotio cordis
- Congenital heart disease
- Electrocution
- Myocardial infarction
- Heart surgery
- Electrolyte abnormalities
