Definitions of ventricular fibrillation
Definition that contains ventricular fibrillation
  • defibrillator an electronic device that administers an electric shock of preset voltage to the heart through the chest wall in an attempt to restore the normal rhythm of the heart during ventricular fibrillation
  • pvc irregularity of cardiac rhythm; recurrent occurrences can be a precursor of ventricular fibrillation
  • asystole absence of systole; failure of the ventricles of the heart to contract (usually caused by ventricular fibrillation) with consequent absence of the heart beat leading to oxygen lack and eventually to death
  • premature ventricular contraction irregularity of cardiac rhythm; recurrent occurrences can be a precursor of ventricular fibrillation
  • cardiac arrest absence of systole; failure of the ventricles of the heart to contract (usually caused by ventricular fibrillation) with consequent absence of the heart beat leading to oxygen lack and eventually to death
  • cardiopulmonary arrest absence of systole; failure of the ventricles of the heart to contract (usually caused by ventricular fibrillation) with consequent absence of the heart beat leading to oxygen lack and eventually to death
