Most severe dysrhythmia of the Asystole
heart
Asystole indicates no electrical activity in the heart
PEA indicates some residual electrical activity within the heart, but not enough for a
pulse
shockable rhythm, heart rhythm problem that occurs when the
Ventricular fibrillation heart beats with rapid, erratic electrical impulses. This causes
pumping chambers in your heart (the ventricles) to quiver
uselessly, instead of pumping blood.
shockable rhythm, in which the lower chambers of your heart
(ventricles) beat very quickly because of a problem in your heart's
Ventricular tachycardia
electrical system.
your heart may not be able to pump enough blood to your body and
lungs because the chambers are beating so fast that they don't have
time to properly fill.
