Dr. Su:
Of course there are different type of rhythms. Some are abnormal circuits, some are abnormal points, irritable spots that we have to target. So sometimes we don’t know until we’re in the heart, and there are different maneuvers that we do to test out the abnormal circuit or abnormal point, and these are all maneuvers that a board-certified electro physiologist would really understand how to do.
