so im guessing the heart eventually goes back into arrhythmia after this procedure… but I don’t get how it even works… how does an eletrical shock stop the v fib and make it totally normal again… oh and amazing video too.
the heart is in vfib, meaning the ventrical is just quivering with no “normal” or controlled rythm, heart rythyms start at the SA node, not the ventricle, so the when you defib, it stops the hearts electrical activity, and allows the hearts automaticity (automatic electrical activity) to correct itself and “start over” with a normal sinus rythym
Ventricular Fibrillation is an unorganized random firing of the electrical processes in the heart resulting in unorganized rhythm and inadequate blood supply to the body. It’s not necessarily an myocardial infarction (heart attack).
Actually, each muscle fiber is contracting to his own frequency, ignoring the sinal node, who commands the heart by sending a depolarization wave that depolarizes all the muscle fibers at the same time … but as the node is not the one in charge and the fibers are ignoring him, it is necessary to administer a very high voltage, in order to depolarize all the fibers at the same time, and the sinal node to resume its activity as the pacemaker…
I almost died from a VF Arrest last year. If it were not for four people that dragged me out of my car (which obviously crashed) and gave me CPR for over 10 minutes until Paramedics arrived to defbirilate I would not have made it.
I have only just returned from hospital after having an ICD put in. Initially it was thought my heart suffered a viral infection but subsequent MRI scans displays it is scarring, likely a form of cardiomyopathy.
uhhhhhhhhh
AWESOME!!!!!
very good example of how the heart moves in v-fib!
Great vid, perfect example of venctriular fibrillation, and sucsesful defib.
BEYOND COOL!

well, as far as i know that’s exactly what the defibrillator is for – to stop v-fibrillation… but i’m not ph.d. so correct me if i’m wrong
It is like that.
the shock works like the “reset button” of your pc. The heart thinks “oh, i should better work normal” and does ist

This is probably one of the best videos I have seen demonstrating V-Fib and resultant defibrillation. Excellent video!!!
Guess its a Heart Attack happening.

WAO!
amazing!
wow that was fucken amazingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
The main cause of Ventricular Fibrillation is a Myocardial infarction… But still is not necessary

Nice video – Super video
Thank you !
Was it a Female’s Heart.
This video is AMAZING!!How a new life begins!Thanks for uploading!
why is this flagged as inappropriate?
That heard was going haywire until it was zapped. Thank the Lord for the advances in technology and medicine that make defibrillation possible.
