Ventricular Fibrillation deteriorates to?

Ventricular Fibrillation deteriorates to?

• A. Ventricular Tachycardia
• B. Asystole
• C. Pulseless Electrical Activity
• D. Normal rhythm

Answer: (B)

Ventricular fibrillation is chaotic electrical activity that produces no effective heartbeat. If this chaotic state isn’t reversed quickly, the heart’s electrical system can tire and progress to a flatline—asystole, where there is no electrical activity on the monitor and no pulse. This end-stage rhythm is why asystole is considered the deterioration outcome from untreated VF. While other arrest rhythms like pulseless electrical activity or pulseless ventricular tachycardia can appear during resuscitation, they are not the direct, default progression from untreated VF, and a normal rhythm would not occur in an ongoing arrest.
