An ECG can show if your heart is beating too fast, too slow or not at all. If you’re having an episode of ventricular fibrillation, the ECG usually shows a heartbeat of about 300 to 400 beats a minute .
Read moreWhat is ventricular fibrillation on ECG?
Ventricular fibrillation is a type of abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia) . During ventricular fibrillation, disorganized heart signals cause the lower heart chambers (ventricles) to twitch (quiver) uselessly. As a result, the heart doesn’t pump blood to the rest of the body.2 Haz 2021

Read moreWhy is there no P wave in atrial fibrillation?
Because the atrial rate is so fast, and the action potentials produced are of such low amplitude , P waves will not be seen on the ECG in patients with atrial fibrillation.
