If the heart suddenly stops, defibrillators can also help it beat again. Different types of defibrillators work in different ways. Automated external defibrillators (AEDs), which are now found in many public spaces, are used to save the lives of people experiencing&nbsp;cardiac arrest. Even untrained bystanders can use these devices in an&nbsp;emergency.</p>

<p>Other defibrillators can prevent sudden death among people who have a&nbsp;high risk of a life-threatening arrhythmia. They include implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), which are surgically placed inside your body, and wearable cardioverter defibrillators (WCDs), which rest on the body. It can take time and effort to get used to living with a defibrillator, and it is important to be aware of possible&nbsp;complications. <strong>I got this article from</strong> <a rel="noreferrer nofollow" aria-label="National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (opens in a new tab)" target="_blank" href="https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/defibrillators">National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute</a></p>

<p>Defibrillation&nbsp;is a treatment for life-threatening&nbsp;cardiac dysrhythmias, specifically&nbsp;ventricular fibrillation&nbsp;(VF) and&nbsp;non-perfusing ventricular tachycardia.&nbsp;A defibrillator delivers a dose of&nbsp;electric current&nbsp;(often called a&nbsp;counter-shock) to the&nbsp;heart. Although not fully understood, this process&nbsp;depolarizes&nbsp;a large amount of the&nbsp;heart muscle, ending the dysrhythmia. Subsequently, the body's&nbsp;natural pacemaker&nbsp;in the&nbsp;sinoatrial node&nbsp;of the heart is able to re-establish&nbsp;normal sinus rhythm.&nbsp;A heart which is in&nbsp;asystole&nbsp;(flatline) cannot be restarted by a defibrillator, but would be treated by&nbsp;cardiopulmonary resuscitation. <strong>I got this article from</strong> <a rel="noreferrer nofollow" aria-label="Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)" target="_blank" href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defibrillation">Wikipedia</a></p>
