∙ 9y agoRapid and dangerously uncoordinated ventricular contractions is called ventricular fibrillation, or v-fib. During v-fib, the ventricle is not pumping blood to the body, and thus v-fib is known as a lethal dysrhythmia.

∙ 13y agoIf a rhythm is present it is not an arrhythmia, therefore there is not an arrhythmia in which atrial contractions are rapid but regular
When the atria contract ahead of time, it is referred to as atrial fibrillation. This is a type of irregular heart rhythm where the atria quiver or fibrillate instead of contracting properly. It can lead to symptoms like palpitations, shortness of breath, and an increased risk of blood clots.

Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are extra heartbeats that begin in one of your heart's two lower pumping chambers (ventricles). These extra beats disrupt your regular heart rhythm, sometimes causing you to feel a fluttering or a skipped beat in your chest. Premature ventricular contractions are common — they occur in many people. They're also called: Premature ventricular complexes Ventricular premature beats Ventricular extrasystoles If you have occasional premature ventricular contractions, but you're otherwise healthy, there's probably no reason for concern, and no need for treatment. If you have frequent premature ventricular contractions or underlying heart disease, you might need treatment.
Fibrillation is random inffectual contractions of the heart wall. It is called atrial fibrillation when it's in the upper chambers, and ventricular fibrillation when in the lower chambers of the heart.
I believe that is called diastole, in contrast to systole, the contraction of the heart muscles.
Peristalsis is the term for the rhythmic contractions of the esophagus. These wavelike contractions move food toward the stomach.
