Overview

I have been a heart rhythm specialist at Duke for more than 15 years. My favorite part of my job is helping people. One of the nice things about electrophysiology is that we have the opportunity to fix many patients’ heart rhythm disorders. We use technology and medicines to fix heart arrhythmias that weren’t available just 10 to 15 years ago. I think the combination of Duke’s excellent facilities, being able to use the best available equipment in the field, and the very talented people that work here is what makes Duke such a special place. I’ve always felt that it’s a great privilege to work at Duke and with the tools available at this institution.

Dr. Hegland is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Fainting. His top areas of expertise are Heart Failure, Ventricular Tachycardia, Bidirectional Tachycardia, Pacemaker Implantation, and Cardiac Ablation.

His clinical research consists of co-authoring 33 peer reviewed articles and participating in 1 clinical trial. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.
