Key Services
The right cardiologist depends on whether the patient is an adult or a child. Saada Hospital in Sohar has a cardiologist for adult heart care and a pediatric cardiology specialist for children, covering preventive cardiology, cholesterol and blood pressure management, heart check-ups and non-invasive cardiac testing including ECG, stress tests and Holter monitoring.
For adults with no symptoms and no risk factors, a general health and heart check every one to two years is usually enough. Check more often if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, raised cholesterol, a family history of early heart disease, or if you smoke. Anyone with chest pain, breathlessness on exertion, palpitations or dizziness should be assessed straight away rather than waiting for a routine check.
A cardiac evaluation usually starts with your history, blood pressure and a physical examination, followed by an ECG to record the heart's rhythm and blood tests for cholesterol and blood sugar. Depending on the findings, an echocardiogram to look at the heart's structure, a stress test to see how the heart behaves under exertion, or 24-hour Holter monitoring to catch intermittent rhythm problems may be added.
Yes. Saada Hospital in Sohar has a pediatric cardiology specialist who assesses and manages heart conditions in children, including heart murmurs picked up during a routine examination, congenital heart problems, and rhythm concerns. Many murmurs found in children are innocent and need no treatment, but they should be assessed properly rather than assumed to be harmless.
Seek medical attention for chest pain or tightness, especially if it spreads to the arm, neck or jaw; breathlessness that is new or worse on exertion; palpitations; dizziness or fainting; or swelling in the ankles. Chest pain with sweating, nausea or breathlessness is a medical emergency — go to the emergency department or call for help immediately rather than booking an appointment.
Yes. Preventive cardiology and lipid management are core services of our cardiology department in Sohar. That means measuring and monitoring your blood pressure and cholesterol, identifying other risk factors such as diabetes, smoking and family history, and managing them through lifestyle guidance and medication where needed — with regular follow-up rather than a single visit.
