Fibrillation is a medical term and refers to the quivering of a muscle, usually in the heart, as opposed to it contracting properly. Due to uncoordination of the muscle fibrils. Common terms heard are atrial and ventricular fibrillation, the first meaning that the atria of the heart (chamber that fills with blood) is not working well. When ventricular fibrillation occurs, only a small amount of blood is pumped out of the heart. This is the more serious of the two conditions.
