About Me
Dr. Raj Khiani - Consultant Cardiologist in London and Milton Keynes and Lead for Clinical Governance at the Royal Free Hospital
I am an experienced General Cardiologist committed to providing holistic, patient focused care. I believe in making an accurate diagnosis and providing a clear explanation to my patients. I treat the whole patient and discuss the cardiac diagnosis along with its physical and emotional impact on the patients health.
I work as a sub-specialist in cardiac devices, arrhythmia and heart failure.
I led the arrhythmia service at the Royal Free Hospital between 2016 and 2019 and now concentrate on training medical students, junior doctors and cardiology registrars as well as consultant colleagues in advanced pacing techniques.
My current research interests include risk stratification for sudden cardiac death in scleroderma cardiomyopathy, COVID-19 and advanced pacing including optimisation of cardiac resynchronization therapy and His bundle pacing.
I see patients with all common cardiac symptoms including: chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath and blackouts.
I am able to manage all common cardiac disorders including: atrial fibrillation, blood pressure, ischaemic heart disease, heart failure and valvular heart disease.
I am registered with all major insurance companies and also see self-funding patients.
