A Series of Events
The Healthy Heart
20
• Uncoordinated, very fast heart rhythm
– Ventricular fibrillation (VF)
– Some ventricular tachycardias (VT)
• Ineffective heart pump
• Unconscious, no breathing, no pulse
• Death certain without defibrillation
A Heart in Distress
Sudden Cardiac Arrest
21
• Electric shock to the
heart
– Stops uncoordinated
rhythm
– Allows return of regular
rhythm and pulse
• Only definitive
treatment for VF
