No. Since the respiratory and circulatory system are connected, you wouldn't have oxygenated blood and you would die.

Can a heart attack be determined without an autopsy?

Sure. You just see if the person's heart is beating. But you're gonna have to be a doctor.


Will the brain stay alive after the heart stops?

I doubt it. Once your brain is without oxygen for even a few minutes, it can have long term effects. Now, if the heart attack happend, but the heart started working again before the 6 minutes, there might be a better chance.


When the heart stops beating is the human being dead?

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!

Is the heart beating?

You heart beating lets you know you are still alive. The heart pumps blood throughout your body. When it stops working, so do you (without external intervention). The regular beating of the heart beat maintained by electrical impulses form the heart pacemaker, which is located in the wall of the right atrium.

If your heart stops for 5 seconds is it possible to come alive?

Death is medically defined as cesation of the heart beating. Once the heart has stopped beating, you have between 2-6 minutes to get the heart restarted before mild to severe brain damage occurs. During this time, performing CPR can stave off the effects to some extent. In other words, if a person has a heart attack and their heart has stopped, performing CPR on the downed person will sustain the brain getting the necessary oxygen to stay alive as well the allow the heart to perfuse or send blood to vital organs throughout the body. However if the heart is not able to be restarted during this time, then the person is dead. So to Answer the question, if someone is "down" for 20 minutes, with their heart stopped, and it is restarted, there is an extremely high probability of irreversible brain damage/persistent vegetative state. In other words, they are brain dead and not alive even though their heart is still beating. So . . . NO a person cannot live again after their heart has been stopped for 20 minutes.


When you are sleep you can feel yourself faintly not breathing when you awaken completely your heart is not beating for at least 2 mint you will get up and move around and then it starts to beat again?

No, none of that is really happening. If your heart was truly not beating for two minutes, you wouldn't be able to "get up" without medical intervention.
