In this episode of CARDIO101, guest host Dr. Angelica Urbina, DMSc, MPAS, PA-C, reviews Ventricular Fibrillation (VFib), a chaotic and life-threatening arrhythmia that results in immediate loss of cardiac output and sudden cardiac arrest. You’ll learn the hallmark ECG findings—absence of identifiable P waves or QRS complexes—along with the most common causes, including ischemic heart disease. The episode also clarifies the difference between cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death, and walks through high-yield ACLS management: early defibrillation, high-quality CPR, epinephrine, and key post-resuscitation considerations such as ICD placement. Perfect for mastering this must-know shockable rhythm for both exam prep and real-world clinical practice.
