Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Are you sure you are having so many episodes of V fib? If yes, you should be on other medicines like Amiodarone besides carvedilol to control these afib and v fib episodes. Also, with so many v fib, you should be on internal defibrillator (icd) as well. Icd will be not be preventive for v fib but it's therapeutic, so you must on medicines also for prevention.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
