because the nerves that connect the heart to the brain use electric signals to tell the heart to beat. If these are interrupted by an electric shock, the heart can stop because the signals from the brain don't get there.

What is a electric shock and what happens?

Electric shock can cause burns or your heart to stop or beat irregularly It depends upon how much voltage one comes in contact with.


When you hit your back why do you stop breathing?

Because it is a shock to your heart and so it skips a beat


Why electric shocks occur?

An electric shock can be useful to the body in these two situations:A Defribrilator - Used to restart a patient's heart if it stops beating.A Pacemaker - Used to send electrical impulses to the heart at certain timings to make it beat properly.


Why does your hearts stop?

The heart may stop if it gets starved for oxygen. That is basically what a heart attack is. There are other reasons the heart may stop, such as receiving an electrical shock. That causes arrhythmia or even fibrillation. The heart doesn't exactly stop then, but its movement is not useful since it is fighting itself and cannot pump blood. Instead, it is just quivering. This condition may require drugs or electric shock to reverse it. If it cannot be reversed, then it is heart attack and death. If you mean stopping momentarily, like for a beat or two, then that could be due to a number of things too. It could be PVCs. While you may perceive that as missing heartbeats, the real cause is an early heartbeat. Electrolyte imbalances, over-exertion, or stress might cause that.


If electricity can kill you why do they shock people in A and E?

The electrical shock will stop the heart, which kills you. (It has to be a strong bolt)


What are the uses of AED?

AED is an acronym that stands for Automated External Defibrillator. It is used to stop the heart's motion via electric shock, effectively hitting the hearts "reset" button. The heart then, hopefully restarts with normal activity. An AED cannot be used when a heart is in asystole, a state of no electrical activity. Also, an AED cannot be used in a moving vehical as that affects the analysis.


What is accomplished by externally placing paddles on the chest or internally by opening the chest and exposing the heart to the view of the surgeon with paddles being directly on the heart?

Paddles are used to deliver mild electric shocks, which can stimulate a heart into beating again after it has stopped 2nd Answer: Well . . . When a patient has a type of heart attack in which the heart is just quivering (fibrillating), the heart is shocked either directly with the defibrillator paddles on the heart if the chest is open, or on the bare skin of the chest if not. Keep in mind that the fibrillating heart is pumping little or no blood to the patient's body. The shock STOPS the heart. Doctors have found over the years that a heart stopped in this manner will quite often"reset" and start beating a normal LUB-dub beat the way it should. Sometimes the first shock does not stop the heart, and a second (or more) shocks are given at higher power. But the point is still to STOP the heart! If you watch TV doctors, you may see them 'shocking' a patient through clothing, or see them place the paddles on top of the chest on top of each nipple, or shock, and shock, and shock, and shock . . . like they are trying to stimulate the heart to start beating. ALL of these are not how it's done in real life! (Answerer is trained and certified in the use of an automatic defibrillator.)


What are the uses and dangers of electrostatics?

Dangers: Makes sparks which can cause explosions if there are inflammable gases or vapours around. If you touch something with a large electric charge it will give you an electric shock which can burn you or stop your heart. Sparks can ignite flammable liquids, vapours and powders.


Is it possible to stop your pulse?

Your pulse is your heart beating. the only way to stop your heart beat is by dying, which I wouldn't try if I were you.


Could anyone ever stop his heart beat?

yes


What happens to your pulse ratewhen you stop excersing?

when we stop excersing our heart and pulse beat slowly


Why does the heart beat none stop?

Because it needs to circulate blood non-stop. If it does stop, you're dead.
