Hello! for my officer training, its a requirement that i be tased one time. i am just concerned of the negative effects it could have on my heart. i have no heart history and my echo was fine. just conc that it could cause cardiac arrest. is it safe?

Yes it's rather like dental students making each other numb before administering anesthetic to a patient. I suspect that they have never had any trainee have a cardiac arrest. If they had they would stop the protocol.
