**'''Heart damage''' is accumulated by a heart being in a non-living host, reaching an inoperable state within 5 minutes in a corpse. After a particular threshold of heart damage is taken, the heart is considered ''damaged'' - this will cause shortness of breath, and if the organ is damaged to the point of ''failure'', it can cause heart attacks, which will rapidly result in death unless defibrillation is applied with haste. | **'''Heart damage''' is accumulated by a heart being in a non-living host, reaching an inoperable state within 5 minutes in a corpse.

**'''Heart attacks''' can be prevented with [[Guide_to_chemistry#Corazone|Corazone]]s, but it will not heal the underlying heart damage. In the case of a need for immediate emergency heart healing, a [[Surgery#Coronary_Bypass|coronary bypass]] can be done, but a heart can only have this done ''once'' to it, and it will bring it back from failing to functional. | **'''Heart attacks''' can be prevented with [[Guide_to_chemistry#Corazone|Corazone]]s, but it will not heal the underlying heart damage.

A cybernetic heart will reset itself after 5 seconds, should it stop, and an upgraded cybernetic heart grants [[epinephrine]] when a patient is in critical condition, and it reduces the reset timer to just 5 seconds. If there is no spare heart, perform a [[Coronary Bypass]] on the patient. Note that this can only be done once per heart. | ||
