Cardiac Fibrillation

Ventricular fibrillation: extremely serious heart rhythm disorder. It is an anarchic excitation of the ventricles resulting in uncoordinated and ineffective contractions which are incapable of ejecting blood into the circulation.

Atrial fibrillation (A.F.): heart rhythm disorder characterized by a replacement of the normal rhythm by an anarchic excitation of the atria, resulting in rapid, irregular and ineffective muscular contractions. It is the most common rhythm disorder after extra-systoles. It is the most common form of cardiac arrhythmia.

When this disorder sets in suddenly, the patient feels palpitations, tightness, difficulty breathing (dyspnea) and anxiety.

Anti-arrhythmic drugs are generally used to prevent recurrences. Anticoagulant treatment is often prescribed to prevent the formation of clots and the risk of stroke.
