Does the taser affect the heart or a cardiac?
The Taser’s output is well below the level established as “safe” by the federal government in approving such devices as the electrified cattle fence. In a medical study of the Model XR 500K electronic stun gun, Dr. Robert Stratbucker of the University of Nebraska Medical Center confirmed that the T-Wave does not interrupt the heartbeat or damage a pacemaker. Any modern pacemaker is designed to withstand electrical defibrillator pulses that are hundreds of times stronger than the Taser’s output. The AIR TASER current of 0.3 joules is well below the 10-50 joule threshold above which cardiac ventricular fibrillation can occur.
