The Heartbeat Clinic offers quality vascular testing services for diagnosing and managing vascular conditions. We are equipped with the latest diagnostic equipment and staffed with highly skilled physicians and technicians to ensure that you receive an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
Vascular testing involves various non-invasive procedures used to diagnose conditions of your blood vessels without surgery. These tests help identify any irregularities in arteries or veins, enabling timely treatment of vascular disorders. Some of the most frequently used vascular tests include ultrasound, Doppler studies, and the ankle-brachial index test.
Vascular Testing is performed to:
In preparation for the test, our medical team will explain the procedure and ensure you are at ease. You may be advised to wear comfortable clothes and might be instructed to avoid certain activities or foods before the test, depending on the specific procedure.
During a vascular test, you will likely be asked to lie comfortably on an examination table while a physician or technician scans your blood vessels using an ultrasound machine or Doppler device. These tests are non-invasive, meaning they do not require any injections or incisions, and are generally painless, allowing for a relaxed experience.
Vascular tests typically take 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the specific tests being performed and the areas being examined.
After the test is complete, our medical professionals will review the findings and discuss the results with you. If necessary, they may recommend additional tests or treatments based on the outcome of your vascular examination.
Vascular testing is a safe, non-invasive procedure with minimal risks. Some minor discomfort may occur, such as the cool sensation of the ultrasound gel or slight pressure from the probe on your skin, but these sensations are temporary and resolve quickly.
The results of vascular testing provide detailed information about the health and function of your blood vessels. They can help identify:
Detecting arterial blockages or narrowing that may impede blood flow.
Identifying abnormal bulging or enlargement of blood vessels.
Finding clots that may pose a risk of embolism or stroke.
Assessing the function of veins and identifying issues like varicose veins or chronic venous insufficiency.

Ari Frank2024-07-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First off I would like to say that the wait time can be long sometimes, but the best is worth the wait. Dr. Suleman is an amazing doctor and his staff most definitely show his same mannerisms. My nurse Leraido (sorry for butchering your name) was amazing and kind. Thanks Heart Beat Clinic Keli Lark2024-01-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. You will wait forever to see him so plan on being there the whole day but you will get the most comprehensive testing and help. More so than anyone else I've ever seen. Finally got a diagnosis after two years of specialists and GPs dismissing me. He is worth the wait. Nicole Borgerding2023-01-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Suleman and his staff are amazing. Is he the "sit you down and hug you" type, no. Is he highly knowledge and informative in what he does, more than I could ever describe in words - YES! He provided resources for me to educate myself further and presented all of my options, before WE figured out the best solution for ME. As someone who's seen well over 15 specialists this year, throughout a nightmare diagnostics journey, he is by far the most respected and favored of any of them. Couldn't recommend him more. Joanna Rich2022-08-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I finally feel like I'm moving forward and getting taken seriously by the Heartbeat Clinic and Dr. Suleman. Update: Answers! It's been a few months since I first posted and I wanted to stress that although it may feel like a lot (I did a number of tests over the last three months) I am finally getting answers. Dr. Suleman took my pain and frustration and didn't tell me I was crazy or just do a basic check up. I can see why I was referred to him. The office in McKinney is easy to locate with lots of parking. Josue Mercado2022-07-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Suleman is one of the very few doctors I trust and truly admire for his knowledge for POTS. I developed POTS after Covid and he did very extensive testing which no other doctor wanted to do at first. His straightforward and I personally recommend him for any dysautonomia issue! All testing is in his office besides labs, which is very convenient since you are not having to go to multiple places. I trust Dr. Suleman so much that I have referred many people to his practice from all over the world. I highly recommend him!
