What is abnormal fluttering of the heart beat?

A heart flutter could meen palpitation, which is what a random fluttering of the heart is, or could mean an illness such as heart diesise. It all depends on how old you are, if you are young it could just mean palpatation which shouldn't really give you any harm, but if your an older person it well could mean an illness, however it could just mean palpatation even if you are an older person. But what ever it is I would have it checked at the doctors incase of anything. They would normally take your blood pressure ect. I have little flutters now and then and I'm young but I wouldn't worry about anything.


What is a good Example of when CPR is needed?

Resuscitation is only needed when a heart goes into ventricular fibrillation (Vfib). Many people think it's also needed when a heart goes into asystole (the well-known flat line), but it will not work then.


Which statements tells why it is important to give early defibrillation to an adult?

From the AHA related link: Many sudden cardiac arrest victims are in ventricular fibrillation (VF). VF is an abnormal, chaotic heart rhythm that prevents the heart from pumping blood. You must defibrillate a victim immediately to stop VF and allow a normal heart rhythm to resume. The sooner you provide defibrillation with the AED, the better the victim's chances of survival. Several studies have documented the effects of time to defibrillation and the effects of bystander CPR on survival from SCA. For every minute that passes between collapse and defibrillation, survival rates from witnessed VF SCA decrease 7 to 10 percent if no CPR is provided. When bystander CPR is provided, the decrease in survival rates is more gradual and averages 3 to 4 percent per minute from collapse to defibrillation. CPR can double or triple survival from witnessed SCA at most intervals to defibrillation.
