[@khushishah3493]

Can a person with an electronic pacemaker get fibrillation or VT ? A pacemaker regularizes the heart's rhythm right..so are arrhythmias possible..given that the battery life hasn't expired ?

I know you posted this a while ago, but this answer is for anyone who might come across this now. Yes, arrhythmia are possible even with a pacemaker (PM), Some possibilities may have to do with the PM's failure to pace/sense (it does not sense the irregularity and therefore does not deliver a pace signal) or the heart side of things could be a failure to capture. That is, the PM gives off the signal, but the cardiac cells in the ventricles are not stimulated.
