3D Ablation: The Procedure That Restored Mr. Johannes’s Heartbeat to Normal

Mr. Johannes, originally from Jambi, suffered his first heart attack in 2023 and underwent a stent placement procedure. After his condition improved, he maintained a healthy lifestyle and continued his routine morning walks, although he had stopped strenuous activities like badminton and gym workouts in accordance with his doctor's advice.

However, in September 2025, Mr. Johannes suddenly experienced rapid heart palpitations. A hospital examination revealed a heart rate reaching 240 beats per minute. Although the symptoms initially subsided, they recurred three months later and began to appear more frequently—eventually as often as once a week.

As there were no arrhythmia specialists available in Jambi, Mr. Johannes explored various other potential causes—including consulting a gastroenterologist—before finally being advised to seek advanced treatment in Jakarta.

At Heartology Cardiovascular Hospital, Mr. Johannes consulted with Dr. Faris Basalamah, Sp.JP(K), a cardiologist specializing in arrhythmia. Following a comprehensive evaluation, he underwent a 3D ablation procedure to address the source of his heart rhythm disorder.

One week after the procedure, Mr. Johannes's heart rate had returned to normal, and his symptoms had significantly improved. He also appreciated the friendliness of the Heartology team—from security personnel and customer service staff to the doctors—as well as the medical team's prompt responses whenever he contacted them via WhatsApp.
