Actually, for me, personally, I'd prefer that it did. I suspect I am very unusual in that, though. I'm not sure where I draw the line, but as a rule of thumb, if I end up 'dead' and in need of 'revival', I'd rather not be revived. That is a very personal choice, though, and not one I expect those close to me (who'd be put through considerable trauma if I were to die) to respect in the case of a heart attack.
However, even if I didn't think it applied, the resources invested in electrically restarting my heart are way smaller than those needed for cryonics, and are definitely on the 'this is OK' side of the line for me.
