Defibrillator myth: in movies one shock restarts a flatline. In real life a flat line means the heart has no electrical activity, so doctors use CPR and adrenaline. The shock is for ventricular fibrillation: it hits most of the heart muscle at once, the chaos stops and the heart's own pacemaker takes over.

Ну в каком-то плане да, но в то же время не совсем. Все сигналы сердца прерываются дефибриллятором, а затем сердце сразу перехватывает управление обратно, но остальные мелкие сигналы снесло волной, так что остаётся только стабильный основной ритм

Sometimes I feel my heart does this awkward weird dance. It feels awful for 10 - 15s. At that moment its hard to breath 😅

​@ArjunNandakumarsplitну если вкратце, то да! Можно конечно объяснить механизм генерации электрических импульсов внутри сердца и многоступенчатость этой системы, но это уже нюансы

@groosha_roman dude I’m so sorry. The medical system is out here failing people. Even if you don’t need treatment, they should give you a diagnosis. I’m not a doctor, but that’s for sure some sort of arrhythmia.

​@groosha_romanthat's definitely some sort of arythmia. The could at least give you some portable monitor to try and record the incident.

Yup, I wanted to buy an AED but realized is too much money and it might not even work in 50% of the time or less. But again if the problem is the heart in chaos it will help me from doing CPR, but still too expensive, and is not like if I'm the one who needs it somebody will help me 😂. They are too expensive
