I agree, but will just mention that most people are not aware that they have a pre-existing condition.
Anyways, we are talking about a small number of people, and it is probably not enough to warrant the elimination of tasers.
edit: On a lighter note, I remember one of my professors telling us about an older gentleman whose month long episode of Atrial Fibrillation was stopped after being shocked with a taser by the police... possibly the only time someone came out of a taser incident in a good mood. (not sure if this was documented, or just an urban legend)
