The 15 pages that link to Ventricular fibrillation, each with the reason it gives.

• Atrial fibrillationCompared with: It also involves chaotic electrical activity, but in the pumping chambers rather than the atria.

• Cardiac arrestBroader topic: This shockable rhythm is a major arrest mechanism and a target of defibrillation.

• Cardiac conduction systemCompared with: It is the extreme contrast to the system's orderly coordination of ventricular activation.

• Sudden cardiac deathRelated: It is the most common immediately fatal rhythm underlying sudden cardiac death.

• Automated external defibrillatorRelated: AEDs are designed to identify this shockable rhythm and recommend defibrillation.

• Implantable cardioverter-defibrillatorRelated: An ICD can terminate this lethal rhythm with a high-energy shock.

• Long QT syndromeRelated: A long-QT-triggered arrhythmia can degenerate into this immediately life-threatening rhythm.

• Hydrofluoric acidRelated: Electrolyte disturbances from severe exposure can provoke this life-threatening arrhythmia.

• Ventricular tachycardiaBroader topic: Ventricular tachycardia can deteriorate into this more disorganized, immediately dangerous rhythm.

• Torsades de pointesRelated: Torsades can degenerate into ventricular fibrillation, a cardiac-arrest rhythm.

• DefibrillationRelated: Defibrillation is used to terminate this immediately life-threatening rhythm.

• Chain of survivalRelated: The importance of early shock treatment for this rhythm shaped the original emphasis on rapid defibrillation.

• AmiodaroneRelated: Intravenous amiodarone may be used for refractory ventricular fibrillation during resuscitation.

• Brugada syndromeBroader topic: This life-threatening arrhythmia is a major cause of sudden death in Brugada syndrome.

• Frank PantridgeRelated: This shockable rhythm was the immediate target of early emergency defibrillation.
