Which form of cardiac arrhythmia is fatal unless reversed?
Ventricular Fibrillation
What is ventral-lateral?
Ventral-lateral is a medical term refering to the front (ventral) and side (lateral ) of a body structure. A broken bone in the arm can be described as showing a ventral-lateral angulation, meaning it is sticking to the front and the side.
Is there a pulse rate in ventricular fibrillation?
ofcourse.
Is atrial fibrillation worse that ventricular fibrillation?
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.
Should emergency defibrillators be used on patients suffering atrial fibrillation attacks?
If patients with atrial fibrillation experience rapid heart rate (rapid ventricular response) and are hemodynamically unstable (hypotension, altered mental status) then electrical cardioversion is appropriate. Defibrillation is never utilized in atrial fibrillation.
Which would produce the most life-threatening condition atrial flutter ventricular flutter atrial fibrillation or ventricular fibrillation?
Ventricular fibrillation, since this pumps blood to the rest of the body.
What does fibrillation mean in medical terms?
Fibrillation is a medical term meaning an interruption of electrical activities in the heart. The most common types of fibrillation are atrial fibrillation and ventricular relation, termed as AFib and VFib, respectively.
What is V-fibrillation?
Ventricular fibrillation is a rapid, irregular and uncoordinated contraction of the cardiac muscles.
Which form of cardiac arrhythmia is fatal unless reversed?
Ventricular Fibrillation
What is an atrial fibrillation?
An atrial fibrillation is a cardiac arrhythmia which involves the upper two chambers of the heart.
What are the major types of arrhythmia?
Atrial Fibrillation, Ventricular tachycardia, Ventricular fibrillation, Supraventricular tachycardia
Is the naval of a killer whale a dorsal or ventral?

Are the ventral nerve cord and the ventral blood vessel connected?
no
Are the ventral nerve cord and ventral blood vessel connected?
no
What is the medical term meaning the same as ventral in humans?
Anterior means the same as ventral in humans.
How is ventricular fibrillation diagnosed?
When an individual suddenly collapses, the possibility of ventricular fibrillation should be considered immediately.
What does the ventral nerve cord do in a earthworm?
there is not a ventral nerve cord
