I treat every patient the way I would want my own family to be treated — with honesty, care, and evidence-based medicine. I take time to understand each person's concerns and explain things clearly, so we can work together on a plan they feel confident about.

Dr Paul Lim | Senior Consultant Cardiologist
A heart specialist, also known as a cardiologist, is a medical doctor who
specialises in diagnosing and treating conditions of the heart and cardiovascular system.
Whether you are experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, or breathlessness, or
simply wish to undergo a cardiac screening for peace of mind, consulting a
heart specialist is an important step in safeguarding your cardiovascular health.
At ATA Medical, our visiting senior consultant cardiologist consults on-site at our Singapore
clinics, providing heart specialist consultations and cardiac screening alongside our family
physicians for continuity of care.

Common Heart Conditions We Screen & Manage
Our team provides consultation, screening, and management for a wide range of cardiovascular conditions, including:
Heart Rhythm Disorders (Arrhythmias)
Arrhythmias occur when the heart beats too fast, too slow, or irregularly. These include atrial fibrillation (AF), atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), and ventricular tachycardia (VT). Left untreated, they can increase the risk of stroke and heart failure.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
Coronary artery disease develops when the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked by plaque build-up, reducing blood flow and potentially leading to chest pain (angina) or a heart attack.
Heart Failure Care
Heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump blood efficiently enough to meet the body's needs, causing breathlessness, fatigue, and leg swelling. Our cardiologist can help with ongoing management and treatment planning to slow disease progression.
Heart Valve Disorders
Heart valve disorders occur when one or more valves do not function properly, affecting blood flow through the heart. This includes valve stenosis (narrowing) and valve regurgitation (leaking).
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
Hypertension occurs when the force of blood against the artery walls is consistently too high. Over time, uncontrolled high blood pressure can damage the heart and blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Hyperlipidaemia (High Cholesterol)
Hyperlipidaemia refers to elevated levels of fats (lipids) in the blood, including cholesterol and triglycerides. High cholesterol contributes to plaque build-up in the arteries and is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease and stroke.
Our Heart Screening Services
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
A quick, non-invasive test that records the heart's electrical activity to detect irregular rhythms, heart damage, and other cardiac abnormalities.
Learn More
2D Echocardiogram
Uses ultrasound to produce detailed images of the heart's structure and function, evaluating how well the heart pumps and the condition of its valves.
Learn More
Stress Testing
Evaluates how the heart performs under physical exertion, helping identify reduced blood flow, exercise-induced arrhythmias, and other concerns not apparent at rest.
Learn More
Comprehensive Blood Tests
Includes cardiac markers and a full lipid panel to assess cholesterol, triglycerides, and other indicators of cardiovascular risk.
Learn More
Holter Monitoring
A portable device worn for 24 to 72 hours to continuously record the heart's rhythm, useful for detecting intermittent arrhythmias.
Learn More
Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT)
A non-invasive ultrasound that measures the thickness of the carotid artery walls to assess early signs of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk.
Learn More
CT Calcium Score Scan
A specialised CT scan that measures calcium deposits in the coronary arteries, helping to evaluate the risk of coronary artery disease.
Learn More
CT Coronary Angiography (CTCA)
A detailed CT scan that produces images of the coronary arteries to detect blockages or narrowing, offering a non-invasive alternative to traditional angiography.

Our screening tests are conducted and reviewed by our family physicians and clinic staff. If your
results indicate any abnormalities or require further evaluation, we will arrange a consultation with
our partner cardiologist for further follow-up.
If you would like to see our cardiologist directly, please let us know when booking your
appointment. For conditions or services not listed above, please

When Should You See a Heart Specialist?
Heart Symptoms to See a Cardiologist For
- Chest pain or discomfort, especially during physical activity
- Shortness of breath during routine activities or while lying down
- Heart palpitations or a sensation of your heart racing, fluttering, or skipping beats
- Dizziness, light-headedness, or fainting spells
- Swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet
Risk Factors for a Heart Screening
- A family history of heart disease or sudden cardiac events
- Existing risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, or a history of smoking
- Adults over 40 with no current symptoms but no recent cardiac assessment
Early consultation with a cardiologist can help detect potential issues before they become serious. If you are unsure whether you need to see a heart specialist, our family physicians can assess your condition and provide a referral where appropriate.
