Cardiology Clinic Dubai

For self-pay patients, no referral is needed and you can book directly with our cardiology clinic. For insurance direct billing, a referral from a general practitioner or family doctor may be required depending on your specific insurance policy. We recommend contacting your insurer or calling our reception team, who can check your policy requirements before your visit and assist with any pre-authorization that may be necessary.

We offer a comprehensive range of non-invasive cardiac diagnostic tests including a resting 12-lead ECG for detecting heart rhythm abnormalities, Echocardiography (Echo) for visualizing heart structure and function, Treadmill Stress Test (TMT) to assess how your heart performs under physical exertion, 24-hour Holter Monitoring for continuous heart rhythm recording, and Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) to track blood pressure patterns over a full day. Each test is interpreted by our specialist cardiologist, who explains results during your follow-up consultation.

You should consider seeing a cardiologist if you experience symptoms such as chest pain or tightness, shortness of breath during activity or at rest, heart palpitations, dizziness, or fainting episodes. You should also see a cardiologist if you have risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, elevated cholesterol, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, or a family history of heart disease. Even without symptoms, adults over 40 benefit from a cardiac risk assessment, as many cardiovascular conditions develop silently before causing noticeable problems.

Yes, for most diagnostic tests like Echocardiography and Stress Testing, our specialist cardiologist can discuss preliminary results with you immediately after the procedure. For Holter monitoring, results require 24 to 48 hours of data analysis, after which the cardiologist reviews the recording and provides a detailed report. ECG results are available within minutes. In all cases, a comprehensive written report is prepared and shared with you and your referring physician for ongoing care coordination.

Our cardiology clinic primarily treats adult patients aged 18 and older. For pediatric heart concerns, including congenital heart conditions, murmurs detected in children, or heart rhythm issues in young patients, we can refer you to a specialized pediatric cardiologist who has expertise in managing cardiac conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. Our reception team can assist with this referral process to ensure your child receives appropriate specialist care.

An Echocardiogram, commonly called an Echo, is an ultrasound scan of the heart that uses sound waves to create detailed images of your heart's chambers, valves, walls, and blood vessels. It is a painless, non-invasive procedure that takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Your cardiologist may recommend an Echo to investigate symptoms like breathlessness, chest pain, or swelling in the legs, or to assess heart valve function, monitor heart failure, evaluate heart murmurs, or check the heart after a cardiac event. It provides essential information about how well your heart is pumping and whether any structural abnormalities are present.

During a cardiac stress test, also known as a Treadmill Stress Test or TMT, you walk on a treadmill while the speed and incline gradually increase. Your heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG are continuously monitored throughout the test. The goal is to see how your heart responds to physical exertion and whether there are signs of reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. The test typically takes 15 to 20 minutes including preparation. You should wear comfortable clothing and shoes, avoid heavy meals for two hours before, and your cardiologist may advise temporarily adjusting certain medications prior to the test.

Our cardiologists take a comprehensive approach to hypertension management. This begins with accurate blood pressure measurement in the clinic, often supplemented by 24-hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring to confirm the diagnosis and assess your blood pressure patterns during daily activities and sleep. Treatment involves a combination of lifestyle modifications including dietary changes, regular exercise, stress management, and weight optimization, alongside medication when necessary. We schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your response to treatment, adjust medications as needed, and screen for any organ damage that uncontrolled hypertension can cause over time.
