I asked a friend of mine about them and following is the text: ==============> Steve A defibrillator applied ACROSS the heart stops all electrical activity and then the heart resumes it's normal rhythmn. It is possible to pass the shock just across the ventricular muscle which will only stop a particular ventricular rhythm, or ACROSS the atria, which will stop the intrinsic artial rhythm momentarily. The results seen depend on the state of health of the heart, the state of health of the cardiac electrical conduction system, voltage of the shock, duration of the shock, and several other variables.

Sooo... The answer to electrical shock is: "It depends." The contents of this message represent my views only and in no way reflect those of any being living, dead, or corporate. (Blah, blah, blah...) Steve Chin StreamLogic Corp. Menlo Park, CA, USA [email protected]
