In order to restart the heart, from asystole, drug therapy is usually required; such as epinephrine, vasopressin, or atropine. A shock may still be applied. If the heart is in arrhythmia, it will require a shock to reset the heart. CPR will not bring the heart back to a normal rhythm, or restart the heart. CPR will circulate oxygenated blood until help arrives to administer shocks or drug therapy.
