Asystole is when the heart has stopped long enough to become depolarized. At this time, it may be time to consider pronouncing death as even electrical shocks would most likely be useless. By the time Asystole sets in, the brain has gone a good 20-45 minutes without oxygen. Asystole is when the heart has stopped long enough to become depolarized.
