Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Without the heart’s steady pumping action, blood stops flowing to the body’s organs. Unless emergency aid restores the heartbeat and gets the blood moving again within minutes, death will result.

Detailed explanation-2: -Heart failure means that your heart can’t pump enough oxygen-rich blood to meet your body’s needs. Heart failure doesn’t mean that your heart has stopped or is about to stop beating. But without enough blood flow, your organs may not work well, which can cause serious problems.

Detailed explanation-3: -Newswise-People may feel a flip-flop in their chest when they’re under stress, haven’t slept well or even during normal activity. They may say, “I felt my heart stop for a second.” But in most cases, that heart-stopping feeling is actually an extra heartbeat, called a premature ventricular contraction (PVC).

Detailed explanation-4: -Sudden cardiac death is often caused by faulty electrical signaling in the heart. A very fast heartbeat causes the lower heart chambers (ventricles) to quiver uselessly instead of pumping blood. This irregular heart rhythm is called ventricular fibrillation.
