A person who suffers from cardiac arrest will faint at the same time or withing 1-2 seconds after suffering from cardiac arrest. There are different forms of cardiac dysrhythmias that a person can suffer from: Ventricular Tachycardia- is when the ventricles of the heart beat very rapidly and without much efficiency, a person can still be conscious while in ventricular tachycardia and live for hours in this rhythm. Eventually this rhythm will be fatal as not enough blood flow will be delivered to vital organs. Ventricular Fibrillation- is when the ventricles just "quiver" erratically and unable to produce a palpable pulse and a patient presenting in this rhythm will be unconscious although agonal respirations might still be noted. On an EKG this rhythm appears to look like a seismograph when an earthquake is happening, very erratic and inconsistent. Asystole- This is the final rhythm of cardiac arrest and exhibits no electrical activity of the heart. 99% of patients will not initially present in this rhythm as they usually progress from VT or VF into asystole. A patient in asystole on a EKG would show a "flatline" or no electrical activity of the heart.

How long can you live without a beating heart?
You can not survive without your heart!. It pumps the blood throughout the entire body!. During a surgery like a heart transplant, they connect the body to a machine that "mimicks" the same function as the heart while the actual transplant is occuring!. If a person's heart stops from a heart attack or something, the longer it takes to revive the person, the higher chance there is for brain damage and eventually death to occur!. Let's say a person is revived after 45 minutes of CPR!.!.!.chances are there will be little to no brain activity left because of the damage that occured while the heart was not beating!. That's why it's so important to act fast when a person is having a heart attack!
