Dr. Rohit Mehta is a cardiac electrophysiologist in Charlotte, NC USA and the Founder and CEO of Global Cardiac EP as well as Founder and CEO of Heart Rhythm Partners, PLLC and Cadence Heart, LLC. He previously earned the rank of Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and served as a senior cardiac electrophysiologist at the Sanger Clinic in Charlotte, North Carolina. Over his nearly 18-year tenure at Sanger, he built one of the United States’ largest and most comprehensive programs in cardiac device management and lead management, serving as Medical Director for Electrophysiology, physician director of the lead management program (which he grew to over 150 extractions as Philips IGTDs largest worldwide account in 2024) and physician director of the Cardiac Device Monitoring Clinic for over a decade growing it from just under 10,000 patients to over 18,000-patients. He was named to Charlotte Business Journal’s “40 Under 40” and has been a Charlotte Magazine “Top Doctor” (2018–present)
A graduate of Duke University and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Dr. Mehta completed his residency, cardiology, and electrophysiology training at The Ohio State University, where he served as both Chief Cardiology and Chief Electrophysiology Fellow.
Dr. Mehta is nationally recognized for his leadership in lead extraction, digital health integration, and workforce advocacy. His clinical innovations—including regional same-day discharge pathways for ablation and device implantation—have become models for operational efficiency and patient safety across large health systems. As co-chair of the Omar Carter Foundation, Dr. Mehta has co-led the training of over 10,000 citizens in CPR and collaborated with regional EMS and ESPN’s 13 Minutes documentary to raise awareness of sudden cardiac arrest with an ultimate goal of training 1 million people in hands-only CPR. His advocacy extends to workforce fairness and physician sustainability, most recently as a first author on the Heart Rhythm Journal article addressing Fair Market Value Reform in Electrophysiology and as an inaugural Board Member of Heart Rhythm Advocates.
