Abstract
Because there have been some deaths temporally associated with CEW application, there has been intense effort and research to determine if the CEW has been a contributor in these cases or whether it is an item of convenience for blame. Initial theories of contribution centered around direct induction of arrhythmia or electrocution. However, numerous researchers of human subjects have demonstrated a high degree of cardiac safety in various studies [1-5].
