An AED (Automated External Defibrillator) indicates "shock not advised" when it detects that the heart rhythm is not one that can be treated with a shock, such as normal sinus rhythm or asystole. This decision is based on the analysis of the heart's electrical activity to determine whether a shock would be beneficial or potentially harmful. The AED is designed to prevent unnecessary shocks, ensuring that treatment is only delivered when it's likely to be effective.
