Fibrillation is a medical term meaning an interruption of electrical activities in the heart. The most common types of fibrillation are atrial fibrillation and ventricular relation, termed as AFib and VFib, respectively.
What does the medical abbreviation VF mean?

Which would produce the most life-threatening condition atrial flutter ventricular flutter atrial fibrillation or ventricular fibrillation?

How best to cure arterial fibrillation developed recently?
Atrial fibrillation can be treated with medication to control the heart rate and thin the blood to reduce the risk of blood clot, heart attack, or stroke. Invasive procedures to treat atrial fibrillation include an ablation or, in extreme cases, the implantation of a pacemaker.
What is ventral fibrillation?
i think you mean ventricular fibrillation (V-fib) when the ventricals beat so fast (basically quivering) it can not act properly as a pump. the cells are still active at this point so a defib shock is advised.
Which form of cardiac arrhythmia is fatal unless reversed?
Ventricular Fibrillation
What is V-fibrillation?

What are the major types of arrhythmia?
Atrial Fibrillation, Ventricular tachycardia, Ventricular fibrillation, Supraventricular tachycardia
What is an atrial fibrillation?
An atrial fibrillation is a cardiac arrhythmia which involves the upper two chambers of the heart.
What are the differences between fasciculation and fibrillation?
fasciculation :can be seen by the naked eyescaused by contraction of motor unitsfibrillation: not visible to the naked eyescaused by contraction of individual muscle fibres
