Good Heart Attack, The

Synopsis
This short film threads together the history of cardiac arrest treatment with the paradoxical discovery that stopping the heart can make it stronger. Shows how the resurrection of dead dogs in Russia in the 1930s, an unstoppable heart in the US half a century later, and now, in London, a hand-made heart attack have all helped in the understanding of how to save lives.
