A member asked:
Can people with ventrical fibrillation live a normal life if they are treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If they are defibrillated and resuscitated in a relatively short amount of time so as not to suffer irreversible brain damage from prolonged lack of oxygen (less than 4 minutes), they can make a full recovery if there is no subsequent heart damage.
