But for the sake of argument, getting zapped with a defibrillator when you are NOT having a heart attack can induce heart arrhythmia and lead quickly to a full fledged heart attack. But to use it like that you'd need to be trained in it's use or just lucky.

Maybe a trained EMT or ER nurse would comment on the effect of just putting the paddles on some guys face.

As I am GMing a Merc campaign I have a lot more use for this than in a normal T2K campaign...that is kinda the reason for the question

Scenario Example:

Hospital - PC is awaiking up from some sorts of trauma, don't know where he is,has machines that says "BEEP BEEP BEEEP" attached to him etc, suddenly it dawns on him/her that the cops/feds/cia/nsa/sas/mafia or whatever is after him...a cop enters the room saying...."so mr john doe...seems like you had quite a day..." - PC reaches for the defibrillator after making a succesfull observation roll (noticing the badge has blood-drops on it and the so-called cop has addidas snickers that don't resemble the rest of the outfit)....etc etc......
