I’ve done an experiment for my coursework on heartbeat before, during and after excersise and I’ve explained in the intro that the heart speeds up to pump more oxygenated blood to make ATP….but it got me thinking. Why does it take so long to slow down? I think this information would help me understand the heart better and also get me a better grade! Please help!

Here’s “Don’t Take My Heart and Put It On A Shelf” from the concert! Oh, and I know it’s kinda hrd to hear, so here’s the lyrics to the part I recorded! Joe starts singing at 00:15: She’s such a flirt And I am the lonely heart Give it a chance For our love to start But you’ll never see If you don’t give me a shot To show you what I’ve got, but It’s too late to pretend You know me better than I know myself Don’t take my heart and put it on a shelf Enjoy! -mrsjjonas12

Don’t Take My Heart And Put It On Lyrics She’s such a flirt I’m gonna know who you are Give it a chance For our love to start But you’ll never see If you don’t give me a shot To show you what I’ve got It’s too late to pretend You know me better than I know myself Don’t take my heart and put it on a shelf I won’t be somebody else And that’s not easy, where can we go from that I’m gonna give my love to someone else I held your hand It felt like a movie I’ve made some plans But you were already Moving on now And I was stuck under a rainy cloud But you don’t seem to care But it’s alright cause It’s too late to pretend You know me better than I know myself Don’t take my heart and put it on a shelf Always somebody else And that’s not easy, where can we go from that I’m gonna give my love to someone else I’m tired of wasting all my time My heart is hanging on this line Leave it for someone else Don’t leave it on a shelf It’s too late to pretend You know me better than I know myself Don’t take my heart and put it on a shelf When will you see How much it hurts to be alone like me So go on and put your heart on a shelf La la la la la La la la la la Always somebody else And that’s not easy, where can we go from that I’m gonna give my love to someone else

Let’s say a person’s heart suddenly stops beating. If left unassisted, how long would it take before said person became officially dead?

Alone With a Heart Attack
You’re at home alone, and you suddenly feel a severe pain in the chest. It is now radiating up all the way to your jaw area, and it’s going outwards to your left arm. Almost certainly you’re having a serious heart attack.
You’ve only got about 10 seconds left. Your heart is stopping, and you’ll be losing consciousness unless you do something right now!
Start coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough. The cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. And a cough must be repeated about every 1-2 seconds without let up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Cough even to pain!
It’s now immediate decision time! How can you get the fastest medical help or CPR?
1. Call 911 while coughing.
2. Scream for help IF someone who knows CPR is near enough to hear you.
You MUST get CPR immediately or you may die.
The deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and the coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating.
There’s still another benefit of this deep breath/cough routine. The squeezing pressure on the heart may even help it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can often get to a hospital and live a lot longer.
One case was reported where the victim was driving about 5 minutes from a hospital, and managed to stay alive while driving this distance by simply using this deep breath/cough routine.
Five minutes or even longer is a huge improvement on 10-30 seconds of heart stoppage. You may be able to save your own life.
Take a CPR course and you might be the person nearby that saves another’s life. Saving another persons life! Now, that’s a real ego trip that makes anyone feel good.
CPR is pretty simple to learn, and almost everyone can learn how to do it effectively and safely.
