Re: ~Man's Heart Beats In The Street After Accident~
Colour me stupid, but how is this even possible? The brain commands the heart to beat, right? So, the heart being completely disconnected from the body... What?

Re: ~Man's Heart Beats In The Street After Accident~
The heart has it own electrical system to keep its rhythm and to pump blood, that’s why doctors can shock it and it’ll stop or go back to a stable beat after tachycardia or cardiac arrest. The latter usually caused by disruption to the heart’s internal electrical system (not to be confused with a heart attack). If the cells in the heart continue to have oxygen it will continue to beat for a short period after brain death without support. |

Re: ~Man's Heart Beats In The Street After Accident~
have seen similar stuff before. it's not exactly beating but twitching (muscle memory) until the tissues run out of oxygen in the next few mins
