Earlier it was though that ventricular fibrillation is more common in adults than in children, but now it has been discovered that it occurs more frequently in children. Some children go into ventricular fibrillation because of commotio cordis. Commotio cordis is a condition in which a blow to the chest during a relatively brief, specific time period during the heart beat cycle can cause ventricular fibrillation. This condition is also considered to be a reason of a mysterious sudden death in young athletes.

An automated external defibrillator or AED is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the potentially life threatening ventricular fibrillation.
