Medical - Medical: Cardiology / defibrillatore

English term or phrase: lights out

Biventricular defibrillators then cost about $40,000 each.
In the United States, where more than six million patients have
heart failure and half a million new cases are diagnosed each
year, if even a small fraction of patients like Jack received the
device, the costs could reach billions. But apart from the money,
a bigger question in my mind was whether
the device was even
right for Jack. He was probably going
to live at least a year, but
certainly no more than five. How did he want to die when his
time came? Patients with heart failure mostly die in two ways:
either
by a sudden, “lights out” arrhythmia, in which the heart
suddenly stops, or by progressive pump failure, in which the
heart weakens to the point that it cannot deliver adequate blood
and oxygen to the tissues.

Explanation:
Lights Out: Sudden unexpected death
Did you hear about the dude that dropped dead while running a marathon? His heart fucking exploded and it was lights out right in the middle of the course! People had to run around the body for over 10 minutes until they tarped the corpse.
