Non-Invasive Cardiology
Non-invasive cardiology looks at heart health using tests that do not involve surgery or catheters. At King’s College Hospital London in Dubai, these assessments are used to detect problems early, support treatment planning, and help prevent more serious heart disease.
What does non-invasive cardiology do?
Non-invasive cardiology uses tests done outside the body to see how the heart works when resting and under stress. These tests find problems like irregular heartbeats, blood flow issues, valve problems, and blood pressure changes. Treatment usually includes medicine, monitoring, and advice on lifestyle to keep the heart healthy and stop the disease from getting worse.
When should you see a non-invasive cardiologist?
You may be referred for non-invasive cardiac testing if you have symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, palpitations, or unexplained fainting.
These tests are also commonly used for patients with high blood pressure, a family history of heart disease, abnormal screening results, or those needing ongoing monitoring of known cardiac conditions or implanted devices.
What non-invasive cardiology tests are offered?
2D echoA 2D echocardiogram uses ultrasound to take pictures of the heart while it beats. This helps doctors check the heart’s size, how well it pumps, how the valves work, and the heart’s overall structure. structure.
Stress echocardiogram
A stress echocardiogram shows how the heart works during exercise. Pictures are taken before and after activity to spot changes in blood flow that might not show up when resting.
Exercise treadmill test
This test checks how the heart reacts as exercise gets harder. It helps measure how much exercise you can handle, your heart rhythm, and if your heart gets enough oxygen during activity.
Dobutamine stress echocardiogram
If a patient can’t exercise, medicine is used to make the heart work harder in a similar way. This helps doctors check how the heart and valves perform under stress.
Holter monitor
A Holter monitor is a small device you wear that records your heart rhythm continuously for one or two days. It helps find irregular heartbeats that might not show up during a brief ECG at the clinic.
Remote heart monitor
Remote heart monitoring sends heart rhythm data from implanted devices like pacemakers straight to your doctor. This lets you be monitored regularly without needing to visit the hospital often.
Ambulatory blood
This device, worn on the body, measures your blood pressure regularly over 24 hours. It’s often used to diagnose high blood pressure and check how well treatment is working.atment is working.

Pacemaker interrogation and programming
Pacemaker checks include reviewing how the device is working and adjusting its settings if needed. These checks happen after implantation and during regular follow-ups to make sure the device works well.
CT coronary angiogram (Cardiac CT)
A Cardiac CT scan gives detailed pictures of the coronary arteries. It helps find narrowed or blocked arteries and assess the risk of coronary artery disease.
Cardiac MRI creates detailed images of the heart and blood flow. It’s used to check the heart muscle, valves, and complex heart conditions, sometimes with contrast dye to improve the images.
