A pathological condition characterized by the absence or failure of heart contractions; cardiac asystole as a clinical state.
From 'asystolic' with the noun suffix '-ism', this medical term describes the disease state or condition of cardiac asystole.
In emergency rooms, there's an old saying 'you're not dead until you're warm and dead'—because hypothermic patients in asystolism have been revived after hours without a heartbeat.
