Ventricular fibrillation is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition where the ventricles of the heart quiver or "fibrillate" instead of contracting to pump blood effectively. It is a type of sudden cardiac arrest. The term "pea" does not relate to medical conditions and seems to be a misunderstanding or a typo. If you meant "pacemaker," a pacemaker is a medical device that helps regulate heart rhythm, but it is not a form of ventricular fibrillation.

Pulseless electrical activity, or PEA, is a common occurrence during arrest situations. ... In other pulseless rhythms, such as ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia, shocks are advised, but defibrillation will do nothing to help the patient in PEA.
