WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS EKG-VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION

Updated 4/26

Ventricular Fibrillation -  There is a chaotic rhythm and no
atrial activity. The ventricles are quivering , so there is no 
cardiac output. There is no pulse and the patient may become
unresponsive. Immediate action to defibrillate, is usually done.

Hemodynamics refers to blood flow. The heart is a pump,
which pumps blood around the body. If there is damage, 
like a myocardial infarction, the heart's function will be 
impaired.

Like the artist perfects painting skills, so does the
