This ECG shows ventricular fibrillation. Disorganized wide QRS complexes of relatively low amiplitude are present at a rate of greater than 300 beats per minute. Note the sharp spikes ...
Ventricular fibrillation is often a fatal arrhythmia. It occurs when the ventricular rate exceeds 400. In this setting, virtually no forward cardiac output occurs. Advanced Cardiac Life Support ...
