Researchers at the Hennepin County Medical Centre in Minneapolis used 66 people who they exposed to five seconds of a Taser shot. They found that the Taser didnt affect the cardiac electrical activity of the participants heart within a 24-hour period.
Rick Smith, CEO of TASER International said: This study of human volunteers as it relates to cardiovascular and physiologic effects surrounding TASER technology lays the groundwork for further, planned human studies.
