About Dr. Mehwish Shabeen
Dr. Mehwish Shabeen is a board-certified Specialist Cardiologist in Dubai with subspecialty fellowship training in non-invasive cardiac imaging. She provides patient-centred care focused on the accurate diagnosis, prevention and long-term management of acute and chronic cardiovascular conditions.
Her diagnostic work centres on three core tests: 2D echocardiography to assess the heart's structure, pumping function and valves; 24-hour Holter ECG monitoring to capture rhythm problems that a standard resting ECG can miss; and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) to establish a patient's true blood pressure across day and night.
She has a particular focus on high blood pressure. Every hypertension workup combines ABPM, echocardiography, ECG and laboratory panels to confirm the diagnosis, rule out "white-coat" readings and check for any effect on the heart, kidneys and metabolic health.
Treatment plans pair evidence-based lifestyle changes — lower sodium intake, regular aerobic activity, weight management and stopping smoking — with medication tailored to each patient's individual risk profile, followed by regular review to protect the heart and other organs over the long term.
Fluent in English, Urdu and Hindi, Dr. Shabeen takes the time to explain every result clearly so that patients understand their heart health and feel confident in their care.
Areas of Expertise
- 2D Echocardiography (2D Echo)
Non-invasive cardiac ultrasound measuring chamber size, heart-wall thickness, pumping performance (ejection fraction) and valve movement — used to diagnose and monitor heart failure, valve disease, cardiomyopathy and complications of coronary artery disease. - 24-Hour Holter ECG Monitoring
A small wearable monitor records the heart's rhythm through normal daily activity and sleep — for unexplained palpitations, racing heart, dizziness, fainting (syncope) and reviewing arrhythmia treatment. - 24-Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)
Automated readings at regular intervals over 24 hours to confirm hypertension, tell apart white-coat and masked hypertension, assess night-time dipping and fine-tune blood pressure medication. - Hypertension Evaluation & Management
Complete workup with ABPM, echo, ECG and lab panels, followed by lifestyle measures, tailored medication (ACE inhibitors, ARBs, calcium channel blockers or diuretics) and long-term monitoring. - Heart Failure, Valve Disease & Cardiomyopathy
Diagnosis, imaging-guided follow-up and ongoing management of chronic heart conditions. - Palpitations & Heart Rhythm Assessment
Investigation of irregular heartbeat, dizziness and fainting episodes. - Preventive Cardiology & Risk Assessment
Evaluation of blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and kidney function to reduce long-term cardiovascular risk.
