KCIH Pediatric Cardiology Department in Rawalpindi specializes in expert heart care for children from birth through adolescence—whether your child has a heart murmur, congenital heart defect, arrhythmia, or requires post-surgical monitoring. Led by Dr. Aziz Ahmed Khan, Consultant Pediatric Cardiologist, our team diagnoses and treats all childhood heart conditions using state-of-the-art echocardiography, ECG monitoring, and advanced imaging. A child’s heart is fundamentally different from an adult’s—it requires specialized knowledge, gentle care, and continuous monitoring to ensure normal development. At KCIH, we provide comprehensive pediatric cardiology services including screening for congenital heart disease, heart murmur evaluation, arrhythmia management, and complete pre- and post-operative cardiac care. What makes us different: Early detection prevents serious complications. Many congenital heart defects can be managed non-surgically or with minimally invasive procedures. Our cardiologist works closely with pediatric surgeons, NICU and PICU specialists to ensure your child receives coordinated, expert care. For children in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, KCIH offers 24/7 emergency cardiac evaluation, rapid diagnosis, and evidence-based treatment. We also provide compassionate parent education so you understand your child’s condition and treatment plan. If you notice shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations, or concern about a heart murmur
Consultant Pediatric Cardiologist
A murmur is an unusual heart sound. Most murmurs in children are innocent (normal) and don’t need treatment. We use echocardiography to determine which type and if treatment is needed.
Yes. Many defects improve or close on their own with growth. Others need medication or surgery. Early diagnosis through echocardiography allows proper monitoring and treatment.
Watch for: excessive shortness of breath during play, fatigue, poor feeding, slow growth, chest pain, fainting, or bluish skin. Any concerns warrant prompt evaluation
Don’t panic. Most chest pain in children is NOT cardiac (usually muscle strain or anxiety). We evaluate to determine the cause and recommend appropriate treatment.
Often yes, depending on the specific condition. We evaluate and provide activity recommendations. Many children with treated heart conditions play sports safely.
Frequency depends on condition. Healthy children with innocent murmurs may need one evaluation only. Children with heart disease need regular monitoring — typically every 3-6 months.
