Ventricular fibrillation is a heart rhythm problem that occurs when the heart beats with rapid, erratic electrical impulses. This causes pumping chambers in your heart (the ventricles) to quiver uselessly, instead of pumping blood. The remedy of this is Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR, which is 30 chest pumps, 2 breaths, defibrillation, adrenaline, repeat) Urban Dictionary

An imperfect heart rhythm that follows no specific pattern. The EKG tracing marks the imperfections and is projected irregularly. Urban Dictionary
