JAKARTA - Heart rhythm disturbances are still a global public health challenge, including Indonesia to date. One of them is atrial fibrillation, which is the most common type of arrhythmia and is late in being realized by sufferers.
In fact, atrial fibrillation can increase the risk of serious disease complications such as stroke, heart failure, and reduced quality of life for sufferers.
With this risk, education to the community regarding cardiac rhythm disorders, especially atrial fibrillation, needs to continue to be carried out and expanded. In addition, the existence of integrated health services to overcome the disease is also very important.
As done by Eka Hospital MT Haryono, which officially opened the Atrial Fibrillation Clinic (AF Clinic), as an integrated service center for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac rhythm disorders, especially atrial fibrillation.
AF Clinic is present to provide comprehensive consultation and evaluation of cardiac arrhythmias, supporting examinations such as EKG, holter monitoring, and electrophysiological studies, interventional procedures such as catheter ablation, as well as ongoing education and monitoring to prevent recurrence and complications.
All doctors in the integrated service also have competence in the field of electrophysiology and arrhythmia management. They are also actively following the development of global cardiology science, so that patients can ensure they receive treatment according to international standards.
"The development of the AF Clinic is part of Eka Hospital Group's strategy to strengthen cardiovascular services by presenting a high-standard cardiac service center, with modern technology and multidisciplinary medical teams," said Eka Hospital Director MT Haryono, dr. Sheirly Novan Indra, MARS, at the inauguration of the AF Clinic in Tebet, Jakarta on Friday, February 13, 2026.
The launch of the AF Clinic is expected to increase public awareness of the importance of early detection and proper treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. The service is also an answer to the public's need for treatment of increasingly complex heart disease.
"We want to ensure that the community has access to fast, accurate arrhythmia treatment that is carried out in an integrated manner," concluded Dr. Sheirly.
