Dr. Nadezhda Murashova
Comprehensive Heart and Vascular Care
At Polyclinic.ae, consultations are provided by a board-certified cardiologist with over 15 years of clinical experience in both outpatient and hospital settings. The doctor sees adults, seniors, and children from the age of seven, providing expert care for all types of cardiovascular conditions.
Our clinic offers a full range of cardiac diagnostics on-site: ECG, echocardiography (ECHO) in accordance with UAE Ministry of Health standards, Holter ECG monitoring, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, stress tests, and vascular ultrasound. For athletes, we also conduct cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) to assess fitness readiness and identify safe training zones.
We manage patients with hypertension, arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, heart failure, atherosclerosis, and complications of diabetes or metabolic syndrome. Special attention is given to preventive cardiology — Polyclinic.ae offers customized cardiovascular check-up programs for early risk detection and long-term health management.
Our cardiologist is also an experienced diagnostician with a broad internal medicine background, ensuring accurate assessment and evidence-based treatment for both cardiac and general health concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What symptoms require a cardiology consultation?
-
If you experience chest pain or burning, shortness of breath, palpitations, blood pressure fluctuations, dizziness, weakness, or swelling, you should see a cardiologist for evaluation
- Does the cardiologist see children as well?
-
Yes. The doctor consults adults, elderly patients, and children aged 7 and above.
- What diagnostic tests are available at Polyclinic.ae?
-
We offer ECG, echocardiography, Holter ECG monitoring, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, stress tests, vascular ultrasound, and cardiopulmonary testing for athletes — all performed in-house.
- Can I have the tests done on the same day?
-
Yes. ECG and ECHO are typically done during your visit. Holter and stress tests are scheduled promptly within a few days.
- What does echocardiography (ECHO) show?
-
ECHO evaluates the structure and function of the heart — valves, chambers, pumping capacity, and signs of heart failure or structural abnormalities.
- What is Holter ECG monitoring?
-
It records your heart rhythm continuously over 24 hours to detect arrhythmias, ischemic episodes, and other abnormalities not visible on a standard ECG.
- What is 24-hour blood pressure monitoring?
-
It tracks blood pressure throughout the day and night, helping to detect hidden hypertension or hypotensive episodes.
- What are stress tests and cardiopulmonary testing?
-
They assess how the heart and lungs respond to physical activity. These tests help detect coronary artery disease and define safe exertion levels for athletes.
- Should I see a cardiologist even if I feel fine?
-
Yes. Preventive visits are recommended after age 40, particularly for men and those with risk factors such as hypertension, high cholesterol, or diabetes.
- What chronic diseases does a cardiologist manage?
-
Hypertension, coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes-related heart complications.
- Do you offer cardiovascular check-ups?
-
Yes. Our heart and vascular check-ups include lab tests, ECG, ECHO, vascular ultrasound, and a cardiologist consultation.
- Do you perform vascular ultrasound?
-
Yes. We perform arterial and venous ultrasound to detect atherosclerosis, varicose veins, thrombosis, and other vascular conditions.
- Do you work with athletes?
-
Yes. We provide sports cardiac evaluations, including stress and cardiopulmonary tests, and determine safe training thresholds.
- Can I get an urgent appointment for chest pain or high blood pressure?
-
Yes. Patients with acute symptoms are seen on the same day. In emergencies, call 998 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.
- Do you accept insurance?
