Oops, sorry used the wrong word. I said fibrillation when what I meant to say was Tachycardia. My mistake. For a better explanation see:

I believe that it depends on the cause. In Perle's case they were worried whether they were single occurrences or runs. If they are singles it is less of a worry than if they are runs which can lead to fibrillation, which is not good.
