Khan Academy: What Is Ventricle Fibrillation (Vfib)?

Curated by ACT

Ventricular fibrillation (also referred to as VF or v-fib) is a fatal cardiac rhythm that occurs when the lower chambers of the heart (ventricles) lose the ability to contract and circulate blood to the rest of the body. V-fib results in an ineffective, erratic heartbeat as blood stops flowing through the body and essential organs experience a dangerous loss of blood supply. [8:48]
