Woman declared dead miraculously revived after 42 minutes

The miracle patient was rushed to hospital after she suffered a major heart attack, but was declared clinically dead soon after arrival, News.com.au reported.

Doctors at Melbourne's MonashHeart managed to unblock vital arteries and return her heart to a normal rhythm, with the help of a lifesaving piece of equipment, called LUCAS 2.

According to doctors, Vanessa Tanasio, 41, a mother of two from the suburb of Narre Warren, needed numerous defibrillator shocks, including one in the ambulance on her way to hospital.
