Back to 1.1: Goals of Care A
The key to this puzzle is that the letter A is missing from everything. If we reconstruct the A-less words, we realise the words on the left are definitions for the conditions on the right. Then, we draw lines connecting each pair. Each line intersects with exactly one letter, which is what we use for our solution.
This gives the cluephrase NO HERTBET, which is another A-less word! Reconstructing it to NO HEARTBEAT suggests ASYSTOLE, but as this is an A-less puzzle, the actual solution is SYSTOLE.
