So if a heart stops you can massage, pump or shock it back to life, and surgeons even stop a heart on purpose before firing it back up, so why can’t they do that 100 percent of the time? What is it that makes a heart stop and never come back? If the brain is working then surely the heart should always come back?
In: Biology
To add to what others and maybe elaborate on part of your question. When someone dies and is shocked their heart isn’t exactly “restarted”. If someone receives a shock its because their heart is in a rhythm that doesn’t pump blood very well. The shock attempts to correct the rhythm and make it pump correctly again.
