ventricular flutterSummary Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is the most commonly identified arrhythmia of cardiac arrest (pulseless situation). The most common cause of VF is an acute myocardial infarction. The ECG is bizarre with a wandering baseline and shows QRS complexes of varying morphology and ...
Abbreviations for ventricular fibrillation: VFib, Vfib, VF, vfib Caution should be taken when using the short form “AF.” AF is also a short-form term for another similar heart arrhythmia – atrial flutter –that is closely related to AFib. SLIDESHOW Atrial Fibrillation: Heart Symptoms, Diag...

Atrial fibrillation (Afib) and ventricular fibrillation (Vfib) are both a type of abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia). Atrial fibrillation is caused by irregular electrical impulses in the atria and ventricular fibrillation is caused by irregular electric
As ventricular fibrillation is the primary cause of sudden death, it represents an acute medical emergency that requires immediate attention. Ventricular flutter is a tachyarrhythmia closely related to ventricular fibrillation.doi:10.1016/B978-008055232-3.60049-2Frank J. Dowd...

The acute effect of verapamil on the ventricular rate in atrial fibrillation and flutter was studied in 15 patients, 13 of whom had heart rate inadequately controlled with digitalis. Plasma concentrations were measured 5 and 10 min after intravenous doses of 0.075 mg/kg and 0.15 mg/kg verapamil...

Exclusion criteria were ECG confounders such as atrial fibrillation or flutter, abundant premature ventricular contractions (bigeminy/trigeminy), paced rhythm, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, congenital heart disease, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, amyloidosis...
