Dr. Gehi is the Director of Clinical Electrophysiology and Program Director of the Fellowship in Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology at UNC. His research interests have focused on improving the quality and system of care for patients suffering from atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common arrhythmia affecting adults. Work through this effort is underway to build a collaborative model of care throughout the UNC Healthcare System. Adjunctive efforts as part of this undertaking include develop digital tools for patient engagement and using a tele-mentoring model to train physicians in the community on best practice recommendations. Additional research endeavors have focused on the field of hybrid AF ablation and complex mapping of ablation targets.
