Why cardiac arrest and irreversible death are not synonyms
A stopped heart, active resuscitation, restored circulation, and irreversible biological death describe different clinical states. Accounts that collapse them into a single phrase can sound more conclusive than the underlying record supports.
When reading near-death research, look for the monitored interval, the quality of physiological data, the timing of the interview, and whether a reported perception was independently tested. Precise language is more illuminating than dramatic language.
Five checkpoints for this route

- 3.Does the article avoid replacing professional care with an inspirational story?
- 4.Does a quoted number link to a source that actually supports that number?
- 5.Is “unexplained” being used as a description or as proof of a cause?
