A member asked:
Could someone get better if their heart is restarted?

Depends: Recovery from a cardiac arrest is possible. The longer one is "down" the worse the chance of recovery.

Question: Well if it stops and doesn't restart, the person is dead. You can't get much worse than dead. If you get the heart restarted the patient is ahead of the game and there's always some possibility of improvement from there.
