Ventricular arrhythmia: It is a type of arrhythmia which begins in the ventricles (lower chambers of the heart). It causes irregular heartbeat and prevents circulation of oxygen-rich blood to the brain and body, and may result in cardiac arrest. This condition may be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.
