ORIGINAL: LinnaeaBorealis ETA: I just read Cali's answer & I gotta ponder that one. Which comes first, the arrest or the lack of O2? Your heart can stop beating, and you are not dead (being kept alive thru CPR, heart-lung bypass machine, artificial life support, etc.). The purpose of the heart beating is to move oxygenated blood thru your body. Once the brain is deprived of oxygen for a sufficient period of time, you die. Cali Ok, gotcha. I'm thinking that if you're being kept alive by CPR or other measures, that your heart is still beating, but that's not true. I've been in big trucks waaaaaay too long!!
