Abstract
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a life-threatening arrhythmia that can lead to sudden cardiac death by compromising cardiac output. It is a common complication of acute myocardial infarction (MI) due to the electrical instability of the myocardium. Refractory VF is defined as sustained VF that persists despite appropriate interventions.
