Greek term or phrase: ηλεκτρική ανάταξη κολπικής μαρμαρυγής
electrical * of ventricular fibrillation?

I'm aware of one word which is often used in this context, but would like to be sure I use the right word for ανάταξη.

Given the wide range of possible translations of the word ανάταξη, what exactly does it mean here?

Thanks
