Nishaki Mehta, MD, FACC, FAHA, FHRS is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the William Beaumont Oakland University School of Medicine. She specializes in electrophysiology, which includes treating abnormal heart rhythms using devices like pacemakers and defibrillators. She is particularly interested in complex ablations, a procedure that corrects faulty electrical signals in the heart, and implantation of complex devices and management.

Born in Mumbai, Dr. Mehta received her medical degree from Seth Gordhandas Sunderdas Medical College and was selected as an international exchange student in her final year. After completing a post-doctoral fellowship and internship at the University of Massachusetts, she continued her residency training at George Washington University and completed a cardiovascular fellowship at Ohio State University. Dr. Mehta then pursued cardiac electrophysiology training at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School.

Now board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) in cardiology and clinical cardiac electrophysiology, Dr. Mehta is committed to improving patient outcomes by addressing the whole person. In addition, she led a research trial that looks at ways to reduce bleeding and scarring after pacemaker defibrillator surgery using a device which she invented while she was at the University of Virginia. She is also the lead PI for Cardiovascular Outcomes for Pregnancy and Post Partum Period (COPPER)

Dr. Mehta is an innovator driven by a passion to improve patient care in safe, effective and affordable ways. Her collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2018 earned the Medical Device Innovation Competition’s top prize.
