The heart still beats in V-Fib (ventricular fibrillation), it just does so in an abnormal rhythm that does not circulate blood. When suturing a hole in the heart it must be stopped altogether, the proper term for that is cardiac arrest. V-Fib is often used incorrectly in television shows and movies to refer to cardiac arrest, it is not the same thing, however V-Fib will lead to cardiac arrest if not treated.

He says he doesn't understand how he can remember things like that poem so easily from his past, but cannot remember seeing a woman with an injured ankle from earlier that day.
But what he doesn't remember is that the poem was written by Wendell Berry (and not William Blake), so his Alzheimer's disease is also starting to destroy his earlier memories...makes the audience's realization of his deterioration even more poignant.
