In trying to find the article just now, which I wasn't able to do, I found that I was using incorrect terminology.

"Cardiac arrest - when the heart stops beating suddenly and completely - is distinct from conditions often labeled as "heart attacks." In cardiac arrest, if the heart is not re-started quickly, brain damage or death usually results."

I also found an article advocating against DNR and DNI. All you guys who want a DNR, be sure to get your DNI too.
