Someone explain to me what that is?

Tachycardia, very rapid heartbeat, above 100 bpm. The ventricles are the lower chambers that pumps blood out to the lungs and the body. The right ventricle pumps to the lungs. The left ventricle pumps out the aorta to the body.

If the heartrate gets too high, it is fibrillating (quivering) and no blood is pumped. Not sure where/if there is a boundary line. My device is set to defibrillate at 190 bpm.

I wonder if a pacemaker/defibrillator would've helped him?

Yes, an AICD would have likely saved him.
