It will only deliver a shock to stop ventricular fibrillation.

OF COURSE IT WOULD HAVE DONE NO GOOD! And thank heavens for that! If it had been an actual heart attack, SHE'D BE DEAD because NOBODY EVER SHOWED UP when I called 911 and TOLD THEM MY WIFE WAS HAVING A HEART ATTACK!
The only guy benefiting from the AED that my entire neighborhood paid for is the guy with the AED in his front yard.
