This can happen due to various reasons. The most common cause is an arrhythmia, such as ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia, where the heart's electrical activity becomes so chaotic that the heart can't pump blood. Other causes include severe heart attack (myocardial infarction), which damages the heart's muscle tissue, making it unable to contract properly; lack of oxygen (asphyxia); severe blood loss; extreme hypothermia; and drug overdose. These conditions disrupt the normal electrical impulses controlling the heart's rhythm, leading to cardiac arrest.

Thank you! We’re so glad it was helpful
But why do ventricles stop pumping?
