Treatment of a heart attack in the home: a portable defibrillator machine,manufactured by The BOC Group's Glasrock division in the U.S.,is used to rectify the patient's heartbeat. A defibrillator delivers a controlled electric shock to the heart,necessitated in cases of cardiac arrest caused by ventricular fibrillation - the rapid & chaotic beating of the individual heart muscle fibres that prevents the heart from beating normally. Ventricular fibrillation most commonly results from myocardial infarction - the death of a section of heart muscle (a heart attack) | |
