Taser‐Induced Rapid Ventricular Myocardial Capture Demonstrated by Pacemaker Intracardiac Electrograms

Abstract

This report describes the first human case of ventricular myocardial capture at a rapid rate resulting from a Taser application. This raises the issue as to whether conducted energy devices can cause primary myocardial capture or capture only in association with cardiac devices providing a preferential pathway of conduction to the myocardium.
