Ventricular fibrillation is abnormal heartbeats caused by unusual twitching of the ventricles. Weakened heart muscles, low blood pressure, genetic disorders, previous heart attacks, etc., can lead to ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation causes abrupt halting of the heart function, thus stopping blood pumping to parts of the body leading to death within minutes. CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) in emergency cases, medications like anti-arrhythmias, ICD placement (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator), cardiac ablation, stent placement, etc., are treatment modalities.
