Therefore, it is highly unlikely that the TASER X26 can cause ventricular fibrillation minutes to hours after its use through direct cardiac effects of the electric field generated by the TASER.

through DIRECT effects. there is a lot of evidence that heart problems can result from indirect effects (i.e. adrenaline). also, this is purely theoretical
the ones from sorento, italy are using a very controlled environment and a ridiculously small sample size that anyone trying to draw a meaningful solid conclusion from that would be laughed at.
