Unfortunately most physicians don't specify if they are "competent" or not. Also people really need to consider the that there are always possible issues involved anytime someone is inserting anything into their heart. Procedures do not always end as expected. Most important take away is for people to REALLY UNDERSTAND what they are getting into and not just relying on a physician who may or may not be competent.

Yes, agreed, it's the patient's responsibility, ultimately, to agree to procedures that offer to correct a defect of some kind. However, a little homework and sleuthing will answer most questions about the skill level and the historical success of a practitioner. This is why we at afibbers.org routinely recommend two or three highly accomplished electrophysiologists, although we don't know all of them.
