A member asked:
If i got some kind of dysautonomia and resting hr is at 50, what does it take for the heart to stop and what are the chances?can the psn shut it down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The autonomic nervous system won't stop the heart. Even with complete blockade of the sympathetic nervous system and complete dominance of the parasympathetic nervous system, the heart won't stop.
