The Heartbeat Clinic

What The Heartbeat Clinic does

The Heartbeat Clinic (operating as POTS.net) is a privately held single-location medical practice headquartered at 9319 Lyndon B Johnson Freeway, Dallas, Texas, founded and operated by cardiologist Dr. Amer Suleman. The clinic specializes in the diagnosis and long-term management of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and related autonomic nervous system disorders, serving patients across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex who present with dizziness, syncope, chronic fatigue, brain fog, and orthostatic intolerance. Its service menu spans more than 20 in-office diagnostic and treatment modalities, including Tilt Table Testing, 24-48 Hour Holter Monitoring, QSweat (QSART), Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET), Autonomic Nervous System Testing, Echocardiography, EEG/NCV, vascular Doppler studies, and gastrointestinal diagnostics (SIBO breath test, HIDA scan, gastric emptying study), plus treatment services such as EECP therapy and Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS) consultation. This breadth allows a comprehensive workup to be completed within a single facility, addressing a pain point of multi-site referrals common to POTS and comorbid conditions such as MCAS, EDS, and long-COVID autonomic dysfunction.

The business model is a professional services practice that bills clinical encounters and procedures through accepted insurance plans and offers discounted private-pay packages for comprehensive testing; there is no subscription or recurring revenue stream separate from insurance reimbursement. Go-to-market is sales-led and patient-direct: no referral is required, online appointment booking is available, and a telemedicine channel has been added to extend consultation reach beyond the physical site. Demand generation runs through SEO-optimized educational content on pots.net, a Clinic Journal blog, Google reviews (3.7/5 across 45 reviews), and an active social presence across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and X. The clinic also runs a separate POTS Point Clinic (potspoint.net) as an extension service line and maintains a network of external specialists for referrals on autoimmune, endocrine, and related comorbidities.

Operations are entirely founder-dependent on Dr. Suleman, supported by two nurse practitioners (one since 2024, one since 2025), testing technicians (echo/vascular, nuclear, EEG/NCV), billing personnel, and medical assistants. The practice has no external funding, no parent company, and no disclosed institutional investors; ownership and control are concentrated in the founder. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and there is no evidence of AI/ML technology, APIs, or third-party platform integrations in the current stack.

Products and services

• POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) Diagnosis and Treatment Comprehensive diagnostic workup and long-term personalized treatment of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and related autonomic nervous system disorders, addressing dizziness, fainting, chronic fatigue, brain fog, and irregular heart rate in adult and adolescent patients.
• Holter Monitoring Ambulatory cardiac monitoring service using a portable device that records the heart's electrical activity continuously for 24 to 48 hours to detect irregular heartbeats and arrhythmias.
• Tilt Table Testing Diagnostic test that evaluates how the body responds to changes in position from lying down to standing up, used to diagnose POTS, orthostatic hypotension, and syncope.
• Stress Test Cardiovascular diagnostic test measuring heart function during physical activity, including CPET, Lexiscan Stress Testing, and Stress Echocardiography.
• Echocardiography Ultrasound-based cardiac imaging test that produces images of the heart's chambers, valves, and major blood vessels to evaluate heart structure and function.
• Metabolic Stress Testing (CPET) Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) that evaluates cardiovascular and respiratory responses to physical stress, measuring how heart, lungs, and muscles work together during exercise.
• P Wave Signal Averaging Specialized ECG method that enhances visibility of subtle changes in the P wave to detect atrial arrhythmias and assess risk of atrial fibrillation.

• Autonomic Nervous System Testing Comprehensive testing including Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Testing, Tilt Table Test, and QSART to assess autonomic system regulation of vital functions.
• Assessment of Forearm Blood Flow Non-invasive evaluation of blood flow through forearm arteries using Doppler ultrasound and plethysmography to diagnose vascular conditions.
• Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS) Therapy Medical therapy delivering mild electrical pulses to the vagus nerve to manage epilepsy, treatment-resistant depression, migraines, cluster headaches, and stroke rehabilitation.
• EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) Non-invasive treatment using air-inflated cuffs around calves, thighs, and buttocks to augment blood supply to the heart and treat chronic angina.
