A man in his 40s in China survived after his heart reportedly stopped beating for more than 40 hours in what doctors described as an unusual medical case.
The incident took place in Hangzhou, where the patient was kept alive through advanced life-support systems while doctors worked to stabilise his condition.
According to reports, the man remained without an independent heartbeat during the period and relied entirely on medical support equipment before his heart eventually resumed functioning.
Doctors said the recovery was extremely rare and highlighted the role of intensive care technology and continuous medical intervention in sustaining the patient during the crisis.
The patient later recovered and was discharged from hospital, with the case drawing widespread attention online because of the unusually long duration without a natural heartbeat.
