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.

Before 2000 it was speculated that if a Heart was still beating and you administered CPR you could put the heart out of it's natural rhythm and cause it to stop.

Does CPR restart the heart?
Generally speaking, no. CPR is essentially a maintenance procedure designed to keep oxygenated blood flowing in the body while the heart is stopped, to keep the person from actually dying before medical personnel can try to restart the heart. CPR can, occasionally, get the heart from a not-beating-at-all state to one where a defibrillator can be used to shock the heart back into a normal rhythm. But people who aren't actually medical professionals but have CPR training are usually just trying to extend the amount of time that the person can be revived until a doctor/EMT arrives.

What is the machine used in hospitals to restart hearts called?
"The answer is defibrillator." No, this is not correct. It is what they use in fiction, but a defibrillator is used to correct a malfunctioning heart that is not beating with a normal rhythm. It doesn't really work on a stopped heart. To restart a heart, the person is injected with atropine and adrenaline, and manual compressions (as in CPR) are applied. If this doesn't work then there is little else that can be done.
