VF is the most frequent initial rhythm in sudden VF is the most frequent initial rhythm in sudden cardiac arrestcardiac arrest
VF is a useless quivering of the heart that results VF is a useless quivering of the heart that results in no blood flowin no blood flow
Defibrillation is the only Defibrillation is the only effective treatment for VFeffective treatment for VF
Successful electrical Successful electrical defibrillation diminishes defibrillation diminishes rapidly over timerapidly over time
