My name is Dr. Nishaki Mehta. I am a heart doctor at the University of Virginia, and I have been practicing medicine since 2007. I specialize in a field of cardiology where we focus on comprehensive management of pacemakers, defibrillators, and ablation procedures. My earliest introduction to medicine was while growing up in India where my grandfather was a trade union leader, and he ran a medical ambulance to serve tribal villages. And he would always request healthcare providers to volunteer their time, and I rode the ambulance with him on weekends and school holidays. So I think that was inspiring. The success of the outcomes of these procedures are very heavily dependent on the patientŐs overall lifestyle, and their overall health status. So when I meet them and their families in clinic, I spend a fair amount of time, not just discussing the electrical heart rhythm disorder for which I am seeing them, but also talk about strategies to improve their heart healthy baseline. Each patient is a different individual. Each patientŐs care needs to be customized uniquely to their profile. And if I can see a patient feeling more energetic, being able to do more and enjoy life more, that to me is probably the most rewarding experience.
