This is almost a #Scotstober entry, seeing as the Danish is incredibly easily understood in Scots, which might be ‘Hertsterter’ (but would obvs stay as defibrillator for ease of understanding).

Shocking the heart with a defibrillator is actually the normal treatment for atrial fibrillation. When it's done as a planned procedure in a hospital it's called cardioversion.

As someone with very long-term, permanent atrial fibrillation, I'd be amazed if a defibrillator took the fibrillation out of my heart!
Might stop/restart my heart in some way, but I'd expect it to be in fibrillation.
Heart starter (or similar) seems a much better everyday non-specialist term.

exactly, you don't want vocabulary to be what gets in the way of somebody using a defibrillator when it's needed.

Same in Swedish, where we call it hjärtstartare. It i also called defibrillator, but "hjärtstartare" has been deemed so much easier for people to understand in a dangerous and stressed situation.

there was also a danish translator present in the testing process where the defibrillator maker took us to their site for 2 weeks to put their defibrillators in every possible scenario while we translators checked that the correct, unambigous instructions were displayed on the screen.

norwegian is the same as danish.
one of my jobs involved translating defibrillator user interface text to give instructions so clear and unambiguous that a person should be able to use a defibrillator in an emergency even if they've never seen one before.

De Hartstarter.
Zodat iedereen meteen weet waar dat apparaat voor bedoeld is.
