Ventricular fibrillar rhythm, or V-waves, is described as the most dangerous cardiac arrhythmia
V-waves can cause sudden chest pain (SCA) that requires immediate medical treatment. Signs of SCA include:

- Chest discomfort Some patients who have a ventricular fibrillar rhythm may experience chest discomfort or pain during their sleep. This symptom is caused by an arrhythmia that is occurring in the ventricular muscle, which is responsible for the heart's pumping action.
