Hello Anthony,

If there is no other damage, than that to the Heart the answer is probably not.... The brain will function for about 4 Minutes more on Oxygen Reserves , according to modern Medical Theroy but the Brain will cease to function long before anyone can get the Patient to an ER, onto Life Support.

With Catastrophic Failure as can be found with Irrepairable Damage to the Heart then there is Instantaneus loss of Blood, and Circulation and no way short of a Machine Used in the OR for Circulation can reverse this.

The problem with the use of this machine is that it take too long to hook up the Patient.

I hope this answers your question!
Robert

Depends on what part of the heart. Left ventricle, yes. Any other part? You probably have a few seconds.

It tends to not be a very good thing for your health. But, there are people who've been shot in the heart & lived. Generally, I'd say you're a goner most of the time.
