Tests to further investigate concerns
Echocardiogram
An echocardiogram is an ultrasound scan that shows the heart’s structure and surrounding blood vessels. It allows us to analyse how blood flows through them and assess the heart’s pumping chambers.
Stress tests
This test involves monitoring your heart rate whilst you are exercising – either on a treadmill or an exercise bike. This can help us detect any abnormalities while you are overexerting your heart.

Frequently asked questions
Short answers from Dr Ravi Assomull, consultant cardiologist - each one is also available as a video.
What are irregular heart beats?
Irregular heartbeats occur when your heart does not maintain its usual steady rhythm. Instead of beating consistently at 60 to 80 beats per minute, it may vary significantly, sometimes slowing or speeding up. This variation can feel like fluttering or skipping and often needs further investigation to determine the underlying cause. In this video, Consultant Cardiologist Dr Ravi Assomull explains what may be behind these changes and when to seek medical advice. Watch Dr Assomull's answer (0:50).
What is the difference between palpitations and an irregular heart beat?
Palpitations are sensations you feel in your chest, such as fluttering or skipped beats, while an irregular heartbeat refers to a confirmed variation in your heart’s rhythm. An irregular heartbeat is often linked to conditions like atrial fibrillation. In this video, Dr Ravi Assomull explores how palpitations and irregular rhythms are connected, what causes them, and when they may indicate a more serious heart issue.

Atrial fibrillation is the most common cause of abnormal heart rhythm and affects over 1.5 million people in the UK. It can significantly raise your risk of stroke, making early diagnosis essential.
