Patient's question:
Today, while chatting with relatives, I heard her say that her family had recently experienced repeated ventricular fibrillation and almost didn't make it back. I've heard before that the heart can repeatedly have atrial fibrillation and ventricular fibrillation, and I'd like to ask what ventricular fibrillation and atrial fibrillation are?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, ventricular fibrillation is much more dangerous than atrial fibrillation. If it is not treated promptly, the likelihood of death is very high. Ventricular fibrillation is the most severe life-threatening arrhythmia. Once ventricular fibrillation occurs repeatedly, it shows the heart stopping its contractions. Once it occurs repeatedly, the mortality rate is extremely high. Atrial fibrillation refers to the repeated irregular chaotic quiver of myocardial fibers at a frequency of 350-600 times, which is the most common arrhythmia.
