Cardiac arrhythmia is usually fatal unless reversed by electric defibrillation. Cardiac arrhythmia is also sometimes referred to as ventricular fibrillation.
Ventricular Fibrillation
Not always, no. It depends on the type of arrhythmia you have. I, for instance, have one; it is not fatal.
Reggie White was a football player in the National Football League. He died on December 26, 2004 due to a fatal cardiac arrhythmia. This is thought to have been caused by cardiac and pulmonary sarcoidosis, which Reggie had been living with for years.

Heart arrhythmia is a condition in which the heart beats too fast, too slow or irregularly. Most of the time heart arrhythmia is harmless, but in some cases it can be very bothersome or even fatal. It is important to work closely with you doctor to minimize risks.

Ventricular fibrillation (V fib, VF) is a fatal dysrhythmia that occurs as a result of multiple weak ectopic foci in the ventricles. In other words, there is NO coordinated atrial or ventricular contraction and NO palpable pulse. Ventricular tachycardia (VT or V tach) have three or more PVCs with a rate of >100

Yes, it leads to hypernatremia which is increased levels of sodium in the blood. Hypernatremia can be fatal as it can lead to arrhythmia and convulsions.
A common but sometimes fatal mistake in cardiac arrest management is delaying or failing to initiate CPR promptly. Immediate bystander CPR can significantly increase the chances of survival for someone experiencing cardiac arrest. Delaying CPR can lead to irreversible damage to the brain and other vital organs due to lack of oxygen.
