When the heart stops beating due to interference of it's electrical impulse?
When cardiac muscle contraction is out-of-sync, causing chaotic contractions across the whole of the heart, preventing it from beating and pumping blood, this is called fibrillations. This typically happens when a myocardial infarction (blood clot leading to a heart attack) blocks blood to the coronary arteries, resulting in hypoxia to certain muscle cells. Then, after medical intervention, when the coronary arteries are unblocked and blood supply returns, some cardiac tissue beats out of sync with the rest of the heart, resulting in fibrillations. The usual treatment for this is the use of a defibrillator. This device sends a strong electrical signal into the heart, stopping it momentarily. Then, the brain can send a signal to the SA (sinoatrial) node of the heart to restart it again, so that the heart beats properly again.
