What is the ventricular fibrillation?
Chamber fibrillation concerns an abnormal heart rhythm that changes the way the chamber closes. It is usually sudden and always life -threatening. It is therefore a medical emergency that requires treatment immediately because the heart can easily stop and change to restart. Most people are unlikely to ignore the state if it happens in front of others because it usually causes unconsciousness within a minute or two.
There are many potential causes of ventricular fibrillation. Structural anomalies in the heart may result in recent surgery of any kind in the heart or cardiomyopathy. People who drown are experiencing a high voltage shock, or who get into anaphylactic shock can also experience this condition. Other causal factors include reduced potassium levels and sometimes the use of drugs that can affect potassium. Most often, however, an episode of ventricular fibrillation in conjunction with a heart attack and can be progressed by hearing attacks symptoms,such as chest pain or feeling of rapid heart rhythm and shortness of breath.
It is not possible to underestimate the necessity of medical assistance. When the chamber fibrillation occurs, the person becomes unconscious and seizures can occur within minutes. The unconscious may turn into coma, as the brain is still free of oxygen and can cause death or extremely serious brain injury.
In hospital environments where the heart is monitored, the ventricular fibrillation can receive rapid treatment and the result of survival can be very good. Treatment does not have to happen when people simply live their everyday life and episode. It is absolutely necessary for CPR (cardio-sheet resuscitation) to start immediately, and someone else contacted emergency services if the person appears to have an episode. Even better and with greater survival of needing a portable defibrillator that can shock the heart back to a regular rhythmicof a state.
Some schools and athletic programs now have portable defibrillators and employees are training on them. Without this training, it may not be wise to try to use it. When emergency workers arrive, they will almost certainly use their defibrillator to provide this rhythm. Meanwhile, CPR is usually the best treatment.
When people survive the episode of this condition, there are several treatment options. One uses medicines to prevent the fibrillation of the chamber in the future. The method that may be preferred is the implantation of the defibrillator, which can arrest the abnormalities of the ventricular rhythm so that they occur so that the heart normally beats. There is a high risk that the condition occurs again, so treatment is considered necessary in most patients.
