Overview:

Your heart is the engine of your body. It works continuously to pump oxygen-rich blood to your brain, organs, and tissues keeping you alive and active every second of the day.

Heart disease refers to any condition that affects the structure or function of the heart. While some individuals are born with congenital heart defects, most cardiac conditions develop gradually over time due to lifestyle factors, aging, stress, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, or smoking.

In the UAE, cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of death. Recent health data shows that heart disease accounts for approximately 36% of total mortality in the country, highlighting the importance of early detection, prevention, and expert medical care.

The good news? Many heart conditions can be managed and even prevented  with timely screening, accurate diagnosis, and proper treatment.

Signs of a Heart Attack

A heart attack happens when blood flow to the heart muscle is suddenly blocked, preventing oxygen from reaching vital tissue. Recognizing the warning signs early is crucial, as heart muscle can be permanently damaged within minutes. While chest pain is the most common symptom, heart attacks can present differently in women, diabetic patients, or older adults. Immediate medical attention is essential if any of these signs appear.

Common Symptoms to Watch For:

Chest pain or discomfort – pressure, tightness, heaviness, or squeezing sensation

Pain radiating to other areas – arms (especially left), neck, jaw, back, or shoulders

Shortness of breath – with or without chest pain

Cold, clammy sweating

Nausea or vomiting

Dizziness or lightheadedness

Unusual fatigue – may occur days before a heart attack

Note: Women and people with diabetes may experience milder or atypical symptoms, such as indigestion-like discomfort, upper back pain, or extreme tiredness. Acting quickly and calling emergency services can save lives.

Diagnosis of Heart Disease

Early detection is key to managing heart disease effectively. At Royal Phoenix Clinic in Al Qusais, Dubai, our cardiology specialists use advanced diagnostic tools to accurately assess heart health and identify problems before they become serious. Diagnosis typically begins with a detailed medical history, physical examination, and specialized tests to evaluate heart function, rhythm, and blood flow.

Common Diagnostic Tests:

Electrocardiogram (ECG):
Measures the electrical activity of the heart to detect irregularities

2D Echocardiography:
Uses ultrasound to visualize heart chambers, valves, and blood flow

Exercise Stress Test (TMT):
Assesses heart performance under physical stress

Tissue Doppler Studies:
Evaluates the movement and function of heart muscle

Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE):
Provides detailed imaging of heart structures

Once a diagnosis is made, treatment plans are personalized based on the type and severity of the heart condition. Treatment may involve lifestyle modifications, medications, or advanced procedures, all aimed at improving heart function, relieving symptoms, and preventing complications.

Treatments for Heart Problems

Heart problems can often be managed effectively with the right care. Our cardiologists offer personalized treatment plans including lifestyle changes, medications, minimally invasive procedures, and surgery.

Common Treatments:

Lifestyle Changes:
Healthy diet, exercise, stress management, quitting smoking

Medications:
Control blood pressure, cholesterol, arrhythmias, and prevent blood clots

Procedures & Surgery:
Angioplasty, stents, valve repair, or bypass surgery

Follow-Up & Monitoring:
Regular check-ups to track heart health and prevent complications

Early care and proper management can help keep your heart strong and healthy.
