poor muscle or damaged heart muscle that is no longer viable or genetics/or alcohol abuse
That sounds like heart disease of some kind; it might be atrial fibrillation. In any event, consult your doctor.
Your maximal heart rate is 220 - MINUS your age. In most human their MHR is about 200- 220 BPM. Maximal heart rate is the highest number of times per minuet that you heart could contract during maximal physical exersion. It is unlikely for your heart to go into Fibrillation at heart rates of 200 - 250 BPM. Fibrillation occurs at heart rates of 300- 600 BPM and can be causes by Heart disease Electrical shock Heart attacks Heart Arrhythmia
No, ventricular fibrillation is worse than atrial fibrillation. This is because the ventricle is the chamber responsible for the main force pumping the blood out of the heart. If this contraction is not coordinated (like when fibrillation occurs), then the heart will not be able to function and consciousness will be lost within a few seconds. Ventricular fibrillation may result from electric shock, major myocardial infarct or some anaesthetic drugs. Resuscitation is usually possible by applying an electric shock (defibrillation) - which causes all cells to enter the refractory period and gives the sinoatrial node a chance to resume its normal pacemaker activity.
If you are referring to atrial fibrillation, there are several medications used to prevent recurrence, or to control the heart rate. If you are referring to ventricular fibrillation, correction and prevention frequently requires the insertion of a defibrillator and possibly a pacemaker. If you are having frequent ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, your heart is very damaged and a defibrillator/pacemaker may be the only way to prevent sudden death.
abnormal heart rhythms in which the atria, or upper chambers of the heart, are out of sync with the ventricles, or lower chambers of the heart. In atrial fibrillation, the atria "quiver" chaotically and the ventricles beat irregularly
Excess adrenaline can trigger atrial fibrillation in some individuals, particularly those with underlying heart conditions. Adrenaline can increase heart rate and put stress on the heart, potentially leading to irregular heart rhythms like atrial fibrillation. It is important for individuals experiencing symptoms to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
Atrial fibrillation is the medical term meaning the irregular, uncoordinated, ineffective twitching contraction of the walls of the atria. A related condition is ventricular fibrillation, which occurs in the lower chambers of the heart.
Ventricular fibrillation is the most serious cardiac arrhythmia and it means simultaneous haphazard electrical activity of the Heart and it occurs in death. If the patient has collapsed with no pulse and the monitor shows a flat wave, then its Ventricular fibrillation.
That sounds like heart disease of some kind; it might be atrial fibrillation. In any event, consult your doctor.
Some negative side or health effects that atrial fibrillation can have on ones body are stroke because your heart beats faster and irregularly Your heart stops pumping blood to your brain and thus causes a stroke.
An atrial fibrillation is a cardiac arrhythmia which involves the upper two chambers of the heart.
If you have atrial fibrillation that is not well-controlled (i.e. the medication is not working), this can lead to some of the symptoms you describe due to a fast heart rate, which causes the heart to not work efficiently. The symptoms can be due to the atrial fibrillation itself or another underlying heart problem that led to the atrial fibrillation. I would suggest talking with your doctor about your symptoms and to discuss whether additional therapy is necessary for your atrial fibrillation-there are many options to treat this disorder. He or she can also determine if additional testing is warranted.

The E.K.G. showed his heart was in fibrillation.Fibrillation of the heart muscle means the heart cannot contract effectively.If doctors cannot stop fibrillation, the heart muscle can stop working.
