The longer you’re being shocked, the more chance there is for your heart to begin fibrillation. Fibrillation is the shocking of your heart into a useless flutter. Most eople who die from electric shock die from fibrillation. Fibrillation in a normal adult is unlikely if the current inmilliamperes is less than 116/t, where t is the shock duration in seconds. The longer you are shocked, the less current is needed to cause heart fibrillation. Here are some examples of shock current levels and durations that would cause fibrillation: 21 milliamperes for 30 seconds 44 milliamperes for 7 seconds
