Microshock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Microshock is a risk in patients with intracardiac conductors, such as external pacemaker electrodes or saline filled catheters, within the heart. A current as low as 10uAmps directly through the heart, may send a patient directly into ventricular fibrillation.
