Heartstop

Heartstop was a condition that caused the victim's heart to suddenly cease to beat, causing death.
==Treatment==
Danica Maupoissant devised a technique for restarting the heart of another—by striking a certain point on the chest—by adapting internal techniques developed by Grandmaster Penpahg D'Ahn of Tabot for restarting one's own heart after physical suspension.

When the tyrannical King Yarin Frostmantle of Damara was assassinated in the late 15 century DR, his advisors decided to cover it up by claiming he had died of heartstop.
