His research, particularly concerning individuals of Indian Asian ethnicity and patients undergoing head and neck radiotherapy in the LOLIPOP study, has been extensive. Dr Chahal's publications cover the role of non-invasive imaging in epidemiology, ethnicity-related differences in cardiac function, and the utility of stress imaging in valvular disease assessment.

In 2011, Dr Chahal assumed the role of Advanced Cardiac Imaging Fellow at The Royal Brompton Hospital, gaining substantial experience in stress echocardiography, transoesophageal echocardiography, cardiovascular MRI, and cardiac CT. His current clinical research focuses on refining the assessment of valvular heart disease and chest pain using rest echocardiography, stress echocardiography, and cardiac MRI.

Dr Chahal is actively involved in collaboration with the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College, exploring techniques to quantify myocardial blood flow and carotid plaque neovascularisation using ultrasonography. In his clinical practice, Dr Chahal attends to patients with diverse cardiovascular concerns, including chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations/arrhythmia, valve disease, hypertension, patent foramen ovale (PFO), heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and dyslipidaemia.
