Ventricular defibrillation During ventricular fibrillation, the muscle fibers of the heart’s ventricles undergo uncoordinated rapid contractions, resulting in little or no blood circulation. To restore the heart’s normal rhythm, a defibrillator sends an abrupt jolt of about -0.20 C of electric charge through the chest into the heart. How many electrons pass through the body during this defibrillation?
