The action of an electric current on the heart

Abstract

Death caused by electric shock is the subject of research carried out in recent years in the USSR, Sweden, USA and other countries. In Germany, experiments are carried out mainly on dogs, and in America, on sheep; studies on small animals are for comparison purposes only. These studies, involving more than 150 animals and lasting for many years, are aimed at establishing the strength of the current, which, for any direction of the current through the body, at any frequency and for any duration of the action of the current, does not cause any disturbance in the activity of the heart.
