As it relates to heart fibrillation, only current matters.

Regardless of what voltage someone has introduced into their body,
all that matters is how much current passes through the heart.

That has to do with pathways, and the initial voltage IS a factor
for any given skin resistance. So 120V WILL be safer than 240V for ANY
given test circumstance.

So, yes, very much correlated.
