The heart is a muscular pump that has an integral electrical system pacing it, telling it when to contract and pump blood. External electric shocks can disrupt/reset the natural rhythm. This can be therapeutic such as when done by a physician for an irregular rhythm in attempt to reset the heart to normal rhythm. It can also be deleterious such as electrocution or being struck by lightning causing abnormal rhythm/damage.
