Ever experienced irregular heartbeats? If so, you might be suffering from arrhythmia, also known as a heart rhythm disorder. Normally, the heart beats 60-100 times per minute. When the heartbeat is slower than normal, it’s called bradycardia, while when it’s faster than normal, it’s called tachycardia. Not only is there a frequency abnormality, but people with this condition also usually feel their heartbeats are irregular.
Arrhythmia can be treated in various ways, depending on the condition. One of them is through heart ablation. Ablation is one of the treatment options for tachycardia arrhythmia. In this non-surgical procedure, the doctor will block excess electricity in problematic heart areas that cause irregular heartbeats.
Cardiac Ablation at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri
One type of tachycardia arrhythmia called atrial fibrillation is the most commonly experienced. In Indonesia alone, the estimated number of sufferers reaches three million people. However, the number of specialist doctors in cardiac subspecialty arrhythmias in this country is still very limited, around 40, one of whom is dr. Dony Yugo Hermanto, Sp.JP(K), FIHA, who practices at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri.
Dr. Dony is part of the Mandaya heart center, which has 15 experienced specialist doctors and the latest medical technology to support optimal patient care. Having undergone various training abroad, he has extensive experience in treating patients with heart rhythm disorders using ablation methods, including 3D heart ablation.
3D heart ablation is one of the latest medical technologies. Unlike previous series, the current three-dimensional technology allows the device to produce a more detailed image of the heart structure during the procedure, as well as the location of damage that needs to be repaired.
After undergoing heart ablation, dangerous and disturbing symptoms such as chest pain, heavy shortness of breath resembling drowning, difficulty breathing when hungry and before sleep, or even when resting, may diminish. Remember that arrhythmia sufferers, especially those with atrial fibrillation, are at very high risk of stroke. Therefore, treatment must be promptly undertaken.
