Line 172:
In various [[television]] medical dramas, an isoelectric ECG (no cardiac electrical activity, also known as [[flatline]]) is often used as a symbol of death or at least extreme medical peril. This is technically known as [[asystole]], a form of [[cardiac arrest]] with a particularly bad prognosis. Though sometimes shown on television, [[defibrillation]], which can be used to correct arrythmias such as ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia, cannot correct asystole.
