That's pretty much what a defribulator does. The heart muscles contracting out of sync is called fribulation, so a defribulator shocks them back into a regular rhythm.

I thought it basically temporarily overwhelmed all the electrical signals and effectively stopped the heart, allowing it to restart on its own but hopefully in sync..?

TIL that I had zero idea how defribulator is spelled. I give it 30 minutes, then it's gone again.

Edit: turns out I knew very well it's spelled defibrillator. Bamboozled. Hoodwinked. And also the other one.
