Arrhythmia: Some patients with congestive heart failure are prone to develop serious arrhythmias known as ventricular fibrillation. It is more common in patients who have low ejection fraction on echo (ultrasound of the heart).

Many rhythms: Patients with congestive heart failure are at risk for several different abnormal heart rhythms, including life threatening and more benign rhythms that can affect quality of life. The most common arrhythmia is called atrial fibrillation - it is treated with blood thinners, medications to control the rhythm, and sometimes procedures. An implanted defibrillator (icd) can protect from sudden death.
