electrical impulses to the heart are interrupted and fibrillation occurs. IIRC
there are parts of the heart that receive the electrical impulses from the
brain then transmit secondary impulses to the muscle tissue to contract and
relax in an organised way. The electrical shock interrupts this process and you
get a disorganised high frequency oscillation in different parts of the heart. A
defibrillator is used to stop this effectively stopping the heart and the
natural sinus rhythm can be resumed. Before defibrillators became commonplace
the manual method was to strike the victims chest above the heart with a
controlled blow using the pinkie side of your fist. This was supposed to have
