I think what you are asking is how long you'd still be conscious if your heart were instantly removed a la Apocalypto or that Indiana Jones movie with the human sacrifice. There were experiments conducted with those who were beheaded by a guillotine, coming out to something like 30 seconds consciousness post-separation to the extent that the disembodied head would react to stimuli. This situation doesn't really apply to heart removal. Keep in mind, there are people who have lived with a still heart, surviving solely on the muscle contractions of arteries to circulate blood. Since the great vessels at the heart would be open in the case of a removal, the victim would bleed out very quickly, but the muscle contractions of the Carotid artery feeding the brain would keep the brain supplied with blood for a little while until blood pressure was no longer sufficient for blood flow to take place. So, probably about a minute until the heartless one couldn't respond to stimuli and an unknown amount of time until consciousness faded and stimuli could no longer be sensed. If, on the other hand, the great vessels were instantly connected in such a way as to permit normal blood flow and zero blood loss, the contractions of arteries would allow the heartless one to live much longer, especially if they laid down to take the vertical pumping load away (the amount of energy required to pump blood from the bottoms of your feet to the top of your scalp is amazing).
A person cannot live with out a heart actually....
It can take a week or less if a person has no food or water. If a person simply has no food, but is getting enough fluids, they can live indefinitely.
You can survive quite a while an IV only. You can survive for up to a couple of weeks as long as the fluids remain constantly flowing.
5 days
A person will probably die without water after 5 days, but will suffer serious, effects after 3 days. Death by dehydration is a nasty process involving incessent skin irritation, halucinations, and the swelling/ cracking of the tongue. 3 days without water is a serious threat to survival. All of the figures that I have read say 10 to 20 days without food. Obviously, this depends upon your weight to begin with and your state of health before the eating stopped. An overweight adult will last longer because they have more reserves to work from than a thin person.
If there is not thing to hold the blood back, you'd have no blood flow to the head or heart in a few minutes.
yes...as long as their heart and brain are working, they can live. There are plenty of people that are living without arms and legs...
probally about a week, month tops
You cant live very long without treatment. But maybe with treatment you could live for a bit longer.
A person can live minutes without air.
You can't live without a heart.
If a person's heart stops beating - and nothing is done to try to restart it - they will suffer irreparable brain damage - and possibly death.
you won't live. you have to have all of your heart to live. it's impossible to only have a fraction of your heart anyways.
1 to 2 years to live or die
about 2 to 5 minutes
All their lives
Coconut milk is not essential for the human bodies' survival so a person can live a long life without it.
how ever long god wants them to live. god can do miracles and we have to believe in them
