How traditional cardiology compares to what we do
How are we different from the rest?
How does traditional cardiology compare to the Many Beats way?
Traditional cardiology is heavily influenced by prescribing medications relatively quickly. For example, traditional cardiologists often prescribe drugs to lower your cholesterol, lower your blood pressure, or to thin your blood.
At Many Beats, we want to empower you, the patient, to adopt lifestyle measures that we feel are safe and appropriate. For example, we can devise a prescription for diet and exercise, and if need be, prescribe conventional medications to lower your risk of developing heart disease in the future.
At Many Beats, we have access to state-of-the-art tests and investigations that enhance conventional heart disease risk assessments.
We can perform high-resolution scans of your heart and the coronary arteries to look for early signs of disease. We will also assess your carotid arteries, which are the arteries that supply blood to your brain.
Our team of specialists is highly trained in the field of preventive cardiology and will provide a detailed assessment of your risk factor profile. Combined with state-of-the-art investigations, we can get an accurate assessment of your future risk of developing heart disease.
Many Beats gives you a map to turn your life around and avoid developing heart disease

It’s the wonderful words of our patients that make this job so worthwhile
Excellent bedside manner / patient care, thoughtful analysis and care. Great cardiologists!
Dr Elghamaz was professional and compassionate in equal measure. He made me feel completely at ease and explained in detail exactly my situation answering all questions kindly and in a language I understood – not medical jargon. A complete gentleman under whose care I have every confidence.
I called Dr Chahal’s secretary to get advice and an appointment for a stress echocardiogram as quickly as possible. Dr Chahal called me himself, to explain the procedure, and he managed to fit me in quickly, as I requested. On the day, he and his colleague carried out the test quickly, efficiently and kindly, explaining what they were doing and why. I would certainly recommend them as true healthcare professionals.
Dr Elghamaz was very efficient, thorough and personable and made me feel at ease through through the process of undergoing several tests and then discussing results with myself and my husband to ensure we understood everything and were comfortable.
Highly recommended. Professional, honest, put me at ease. Wonderful experience all around.
Dr Elghamaz goes above and beyond for his patients. As well as being kind, he is extremely thorough, and I feel very comfortable knowing he is in charge of my care.
Dr Sehmi is a fusion of the best of the old and new schools of medicine. Whilst reassuringly up to date with the latest evidence-based practice and comfortable with all the leading-edge technology of his field, he has always listened to my fears and given informed answers to all my questions.
I had a really positive experience when I saw Dr Navin Chandra in his clinic. He took time to really listen to my problems and then explained what was wrong in simple terms. I had all my tests performed swiftly and have started to feel much better!
Having been referred for specialist Cardiology review, I was very fortunate to be assigned Dr Sehmi as my Consultant. From the outset, his level of interest in my personal case has been exceptional. I have had several consultants for a variety of reasons over the years but Dr Sehmi is the first where a consultant has proactively followed up in between appointments to determine progress.
I was admitted under Cardiology and Dr Chandra was my Consultant. He quickly got to the heart of the problem and he and his team didn’t miss a step. Later that evening Dr Chandra took the time to see my partner and his patience and knowledge gave us the answers to our many questions.
