The aim of the paper was to study fluctuations of organized activity of ventricular fibrillation of the canine heart. To solve the aim we performed frequency-amplitude analysis of the ventricular electrogram during fibrillation using the Fast Fourier Transform at 30 frequencies in the range of 0.5–15 Hz: 0.5, 1, 1.5, …, 15 Hz. Ventricular fibrillation was characterized by fluctuations of organized activity as evidenced by fluctuations of frequency and amplitude of dominating oscillations when analysing 1-second intervals of fibrillation. Fluctuations of organized activity was maintained in stationary mode as evidenced by disappearance of fluctuations of frequency and amplitude when averaging 1-second values of frequency and amplitude of oscillations in the 3-minute intervals of fibrillation. Stationary fluctuations maintain stability of organized structure of fibrillation during the 30-minute perfusion of the heart.
