Difference between atrial and ventricular fibrillation
Introduction A Fibrillation, whether atrial or ventricular in origin, is an abnormality in heart rate and rhythm. This is medically known as a cardiac arrhythmia and usually, lasts barely for 2-3 seconds. They are common, often harmless, but can reflect an underlying heart disease and shouldn’t be ignored. They are often intermittent, thus, difficult to diagnose. Occasionally, they are severe causing a cardiac compromise.
What is fibrillation? If there is lack of coordination in the heart rate and rhythm, it leads to the pumping of the chambers going out of sync.
