Amazing connection through the span of time.
It should be noted though that defibrillation in particular is not technically restarting the heart. This is done horribly wrong in almost all TV and movies. Its purpose is to stop the heart when it undergoes uncontrolled movement, in the hopes that it will restart itself. /pet peeve
