A visit to the cardiologist is not only for acute pain — many visits are preventive, to detect a problem early:
Chest pain or pressure, especially on exertion; palpitations or an irregular heartbeat; shortness of breath when climbing stairs or walking; recurrent dizziness or fainting; swollen feet; or ongoing tiredness despite rest.
High blood pressure or cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, smoking, physical inactivity, or a family history of heart disease and clots — these may call for assessment even without symptoms.
A recording of the heart’s electrical activity through stickers placed on the chest — it reveals rhythm disorders and some signs behind chest pain. It needs no special preparation and takes only minutes.
An ultrasound scan that shows the inside of the heart — the heart muscle, the valves, the size of the chambers and the blood flow. It is non-invasive and radiation-free, and usually needs no fasting.
An ECG recorded while you walk on a treadmill, with the effort increased gradually and your pulse and blood pressure monitored — it reveals what may not show at rest, such as reduced blood supply to the heart on exertion.
Follow-up of blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes, plus cardiac lab tests in dedicated packages — samples are taken at the branch and the results are reviewed with the doctor.
With Dr. Ayman Al-Saudi, valid until 31 December 2026 for direct payment — prices exclude VAT: ECG for SAR 99 instead of SAR 150, echocardiography for SAR 799 instead of SAR 1,200, and the “Check on your heart” package for SAR 350 instead of SAR 400.
Instead of SAR 400 — throughout clinic hours.
Special midday prices until 31 December 2026.
Prices at the clinic — each test can be done on its own or as part of the offers:
Cardiology specialist consultation, assessment of your condition and choice of the right tests.
A recording of the heart’s electrical activity in just a few minutes — instead of SAR 150 in the year-end offers.
Ultrasound imaging of the heart — the muscle, the valves and the blood flow. Instead of SAR 1,200 in the year-end offers.
With a cardiologist consultation and risk-factor tests (LDL cholesterol · triglycerides · HbA1c) — instead of SAR 2,500.
Alongside the tests, dedicated cardiac lab test packages are available, with samples taken in the branch laboratory — at midday offer prices from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM until 31 December 2026:
Focuses on cardiac enzymes and clotting markers when an urgent assessment is needed.
Adds to the previous package a full lipid profile, HbA1c, electrolytes and kidney function.
The widest coverage — it adds vitamins and thyroid tests, because imbalances in them can affect the heart.
The choice depends on your symptoms and risk factors. Seeing the doctor first determines what you actually need and saves you unnecessary tests.
These usually need no fasting. It is best to wear clothes that make it easy to uncover the chest, and to tell the medical team about the medicines and supplements you take, as some can affect the reading.
You are usually asked to avoid food, smoking and caffeine for a period before the test, according to the instructions, and to wear sports shoes and clothes suitable for walking on the treadmill.
When you need it, which tests are involved, and how to choose the right one for you.
How it is done, what it shows and who needs it.
What it is, why it is requested and what it reveals about your heart.
Eight situations that call for a visit to a cardiologist.
One of the most important risk factors for the heart — symptoms and follow-up.
Medical imaging in the same building.
Dr. Ayman Al-Saudi — Cardiology & Vascular Diseases Specialist. The clinic is open from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
From 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. For bookings and enquiries: 920002278.
It includes a cardiology specialist consultation, an ECG and cardiac enzyme tests in one visit, for SAR 350 instead of SAR 400 in the year-end offers until 31 December 2026. Offers change from time to time, so it is best to confirm when you book.
An ECG is SAR 99 instead of SAR 150 in the year-end offers until 31 December 2026, and the consultation is SAR 100. The “Check on your heart” package at SAR 350 includes the consultation, ECG and cardiac enzymes together. Prices exclude VAT; the state bears the VAT for citizens on private healthcare services.
Echocardiography is SAR 799 instead of SAR 1,200 in the year-end offers until 31 December 2026. From 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM: echo + stress echo + consultation + risk-factor tests for SAR 1,199.
A recording of the heart’s electrical activity through stickers placed on the chest and sometimes on the limbs. It usually needs no special preparation and takes a few minutes.
Echocardiography (a heart echo) is an ultrasound scan that shows the inside of the heart: the heart muscle and how strongly it pumps, the valves and any regurgitation, the size of the heart chambers, and the blood flow. It is non-invasive and radiation-free, and usually takes 20 to 40 minutes depending on the case.
A standard echo through the chest usually needs no fasting. For an exercise stress ECG, you may be asked to avoid food, caffeine and smoking for a period before the test, according to the instructions.
An ECG measures electrical activity — that is, the heart’s rate and rhythm. An echo images the heart itself and shows its structure and how its muscle and valves work. They are often requested together because each reveals a different aspect.
It may point to reduced blood supply that appears on exertion but not at rest, which can indicate narrowing of the coronary arteries. But it does not diagnose a blockage on its own — the doctor decides whether further tests are needed based on the result.
About a full hour including preparation, with around 15 minutes of actual effort on the treadmill. It is done under medical supervision with continuous ECG and blood pressure monitoring.
Three packages at midday offer prices (12:00 PM to 4:00 PM until 31 December 2026): the Emergency Test Package with 13 tests (SAR 399), focusing on cardiac enzymes and clotting markers; Silver Package 1 with 25 tests (SAR 699), which adds lipids, HbA1c, electrolytes and kidney function; and Silver Package 2 with 29 tests (SAR 999), which adds vitamins and thyroid tests.
Yes. The consultation, ECG, echocardiography and the lab test packages are available as a home visit, arranged in advance. To arrange: 920002278.
If chest pain is severe or persistent, or comes with severe shortness of breath, fainting, a cold sweat or a feeling of general collapse — go to the nearest emergency department immediately or call the Red Crescent on 997, rather than waiting for a clinic appointment.
No. You can book an appointment at the cardiology clinic directly. If you are not sure which test suits your case, seeing the doctor first will determine it.
