Theoretical possibility of ventricular fibrillation during use of TASER neuromuscular incapacitation devices

Introduction: TASER devices deliver electrical pulses that temporarily incapacitate suspects. This study analyzes the theoretical possibility of ventricular fibrillation (VF) induction by TASER currents.
