| About author:: Prof.KarlHeinz Kuck, international famous cardiac electrophysiologist, the chairman of European Heart Rhythm Society(HRS), contributes to the research and clinical practice of catheter ablation therapy. In the early 1990s, he has been to China for the first time at the invitation of Prof. Hu dayi to help Chinese doctors with the treatment of catheter ablation on sychnosphygmia patients. He has close contact with Chinese doctors and researchers since then, and always inspires them with the latest research findings or clinical technology,
