About Me
Charles Nydegger, MD, is a cardiologist at Mount Nittany Health in State College. He specializes in arrhythmia diagnosis and treatment — such as pacemakers, implantable defibrillators, atrial fibrillation and supraventricular tachycardia — as well as general cardiology, including cardiomyopathy and coronary artery disease.
Dr. Nydegger has a long‑standing connection to the Centre Region. His wife’s family has lived in the area for generations, and he attended school in State College, where he developed a strong appreciation for the community.
He frequently encourages patients to maintain a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise. His approach to care focuses on integrating cardiovascular treatment into overall patient health, and he strives to ensure that patients fully understand their diagnosis and treatment plan.

Dr. Nydegger was very caring. He sat with me and went over everything in a way I could understand what he was telling me. Answered every question that I had to where I understood every single thing.
