fibrilacija

An erratic, chaotic quivering of the myocardium during which the heart cannot effectively pump blood. Fibrillation of the atrium is called atrial fibrillation (AF); in the ventricle, it is called ventricular fibrillation (VF). Ventricular fibrillation is typically fatal if not corrected within several minutes.
