==Research cardiac electrophysiologist==

Cardiac electrophysiologists specialize in a sub-area of [[electrophysiology]], which in turn is a sub-area of [[physiology]]. This specialization usually requires education at the doctoral (PhD, DSc, or MD/DO) level to become a principal investigator for research projects. The area of research is often multi-disciplinary involving chemistry, bioelectrics, biology, and biomedical engineering. The flagship tools used by cardiac electrophysiologsts overlap with the toolbox of the neuroscientist including [[patch clamp]] and optical mapping.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Jaimes|first1=R|title=Lights, camera, path splitter: a new approach for truly simultaneous dual optical mapping of the heart|journal=BMC Biomedical Engineering|year=2019|volume=1|doi=10.1186/s42490-019-0024-x|pmid=31768502|pmc=6876868|url=}}</ref>
