class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ventricular fibrillation is one of the most common causes. The heart has four chambers- these heart chambers shaking out of control. This creates the heart&#8217;s rhythm to reduce suddenly. In a few occurrences, the circulation of blood stops entirely, pointing to sudden cardiac death.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Atrial_Fibrillation\"><\/span><b>Atrial Fibrillation<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The heart can stop beating instantly after an arrhythmia in the atrium.
