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 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.
