Cardiology Consultation in Dubai

Most insurance plans in Dubai require a GP referral for specialist cardiology consultation. If you have Daman, AXA, Bupa, Cigna, or other major insurers, we can verify your coverage and help coordinate the referral. Self-pay patients can book directly without a referral. We recommend calling us with your insurance details so we can confirm requirements before your visit and avoid any delays.

Bring your Emirates ID or passport, insurance card, a current medication list, and any previous cardiac test results including ECG tracings, echocardiogram reports, stress test results, and blood work. If you have been seen by another cardiologist, bring their reports and any imaging CDs. Having this information available allows our cardiologist to avoid unnecessary repeat tests and provide more efficient care during your consultation.

Often yes. An ECG is routinely performed on-site during your consultation and takes only a few minutes. If your cardiologist determines that an echocardiogram, stress test, or Holter monitor is needed, these can frequently be arranged the same day based on availability. Blood tests for cholesterol, glucose, and cardiac biomarkers can also be ordered immediately. Our goal is to provide answers as quickly as possible.

An initial cardiology consultation typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes. This includes a detailed history review, physical examination, ECG if indicated, and a thorough discussion of findings and treatment options. Follow-up consultations are generally 15 to 20 minutes and focus on reviewing test results, adjusting medications, and monitoring progress. Complex cases or second opinions may take longer.

Absolutely. Our cardiologists regularly provide second opinions for patients who have been diagnosed with heart conditions or recommended for cardiac procedures elsewhere.

A cardiac surgeon performs open heart surgery such as bypass grafting and valve replacement. At DCDC, our cardiologists manage your heart condition and, if surgery is ever needed, coordinate with trusted cardiac surgeons at affiliated hospitals for seamless care continuity.
