History of Pakistan Cardiac Society (PCS)

Pakistan Cardiac Society was established in 1966 by Col. M. H. Shah and was registered with Joint Stock Companies Sindh under the societies act. 

Dr. Ali Muhammad Chaudhry started publishing Pakistan Heart Journal in 1968. The society was active till 1971 and the journal was regularly published, however with dismemberment of the country in 1971 it took some time to reorganize the society & the journal.

Dr. Hafeez Akhtar, Chairman Department of Internal Medicine, Rawalpindi General Hospital, took it upon himself to revive the activities of the cardiac society and personally went several times around the country to organize the 3rd All Pakistan Biennial Congress at Rawalpindi. This was the 1st Biennial Congress after the East Pakistan debacle. Pakistan Heart Journal was restarted in 1975 by Dr. Abdus Samad after he was elected as the Editor of Pakistan Heart Journal. These efforts brought the Society back to life and almost all physicians across the country devoted to cardiovascular field became active members of the society. Regular annual and bi-annual scientific meetings were organized in all major cities of Pakistan.
