   Can a taser stop a heart attack?

   • Neither a taser nor a stun gun can stop a heart attack or cardiac arrest. However, electrical impulses from a defibrillator can sometimes restore healthy electrical activity in a heart experiencing cardiac arrest. But a defibrillator emits only about 200 to 1,000 volts, which is still quite high but less than a taser or a standard stun gun.

   Can a taser hurt your heart?

   • Still, there is a slight risk of the taser leading to a harmful heart rhythm disturbance or the person affected by the taser falling and experiencing a fracture or another injury. It’s important to note that a taser or stun gun can affect the body’s nervous system, which can then affect the heart’s electrical activity.

   What is the risk of a taser ECD causing cardiac arrest?

   • TASER counsel indicated that the risk of an ECD causing cardiac arrest was on the order of 1:100 000 applications. 10 Given an estimated 3 million TASER ECD applications, 10 this would compute to ≈30 deaths.
