A member asked:
Do you know if ventricular fibrillation is the most common rhythm during cardiac arrest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: The initial rhythm causing a cardiac arrest is most usually monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (62%), followed by bradycardia (17%), then polymorphic VT (13%) and finally primary vf (8%). Most of these rhythms will eventually degenerate into vf, however.
