Cardiology Clinic in Abu Dhabi for Heart & Cardiovascular Care

Cardiology is the medical specialty focused on the heart and blood vessels. A cardiologist, sometimes called a heart specialist, assesses, diagnoses, treats and monitors cardiovascular conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart rhythm disorders, heart valve disease and high blood pressure. At HealthPlus, cardiology care also includes cardiovascular risk assessment and evaluation of arterial and venous disorders.

Symptoms of heart and cardiovascular conditions

Heart and vascular conditions can cause different symptoms depending on the underlying problem. Common warning signs include chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness or fainting, unexplained fatigue, swelling in the legs or ankles, and reduced exercise tolerance. Pain, numbness, weakness or coldness in a limb can sometimes indicate reduced blood flow.

Severe or sudden chest pain, especially with breathlessness, sweating, nausea, fainting or pain spreading to the arm, jaw or back, requires urgent emergency assessment.

Causes and Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease develops through a combination of medical, lifestyle and inherited factors. Important risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity, physical inactivity and a family history of premature cardiovascular disease. Age, chronic kidney disease and some inflammatory conditions can also increase cardiovascular risk.

Regular assessment is particularly important because conditions such as hypertension and high cholesterol may cause no symptoms before complications develop.

Family Medicine

Diagnosis and cardiology assessment

A cardiology assessment usually starts with your symptoms, medical and family history, medications, blood pressure and cardiovascular risk factors. Your cardiologist may then recommend tests based on the clinical question.

HealthPlus cardiology services include:

  • ECG: records the heart’s electrical activity to assess heart rate and rhythm.

  • Stress ECG: evaluates the heart’s electrical response during exercise and can help investigate symptoms that occur with exertion.

  • Holter ECG monitoring: continuously records heart rhythm over a longer period to help detect intermittent rhythm abnormalities.

  • Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM): measures blood pressure repeatedly during normal daily activities and sleep.

  • Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE): uses ultrasound to assess heart structure, pumping function and heart valves.

  • Doppler and colour duplex ultrasound: assesses blood flow through arteries and veins and can help identify vascular disease, including carotid artery changes and arteriosclerosis.

  • Cardiac CT and CT coronary angiography: provide detailed images of the heart and coronary arteries when clinically appropriate.

These tests answer different clinical questions. An ECG shows electrical activity, whereas an echocardiogram creates moving ultrasound images of heart structure and function. A Holter monitor is useful when palpitations or rhythm symptoms come and go. Vascular Doppler evaluates blood flow, while CT coronary angiography can assess coronary artery anatomy when indicated.

The appropriate tests depend on symptoms, examination findings and individual cardiovascular risk.

Laboratory Services

Cardiology treatment and cardiovascular disease management

Treatment is based on the diagnosis rather than symptoms alone. Depending on the condition, a cardiologist may recommend lifestyle changes, management of blood pressure, cholesterol or diabetes, medication, ongoing monitoring or further specialist evaluation.

HealthPlus provides assessment and management for heart disease, heart valve disorders and cardiovascular risk, as well as assessment of vascular conditions affecting arteries and veins. Follow-up may include repeat ECG, Holter monitoring, ABPM, echocardiography or vascular imaging when clinically indicated.

When should you see a cardiologist?

Consider seeing a cardiologist if you have persistent chest discomfort, palpitations, unexplained breathlessness, fainting, leg swelling or reduced exercise tolerance. Cardiology assessment may also be appropriate if you have known heart or vascular disease, multiple cardiovascular risk factors, abnormal test results, or a strong family history of early heart disease.
