A member asked:
Are any heart sounds heard on auscultation in ventricular fibrillation?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: During ventricular fibrillation, there is no organized ventricular activity, no heart beat, and no pulse. Therefore, there are no cardiac sounds.

VFIB: The heart is not beating during vfib so there are no heart sounds produced during this rhythm.
