Countershock
(In cardiology) A high-intensity, short-duration, electric shock applied to the area of the heart, resulting in total cardiac depolarization.
Cardiac Depolarization
An event in the cardiac cycle where the heart's muscle cells become electrically charged, leading to muscle contraction and heartbeat.
