Cardiac technologists work with cardiologists to diagnose and treat heart problems and illnesses. ECG, Echo, 24-hour ambulatory ECG monitoring (Holter), 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (Ambulatory BP), treadmill, cardiac catheterization laboratory, and electro physiology are among the areas where training is provided. Cardiac technologists assist doctors with cardiac catheterizations (including balloon angioplasties) and pacemakers. Cardiac technologists work as members of the healthcare team to diagnose and treat cardiovascular diseases.
The course teaches students about various cardiac pathologies, diagnostic tests, and procedures used in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders. The programme prepares the candidate to work as part of a multidisciplinary team with good organisational and time management skills, as well as motivational and leadership qualities. A candidate will learn effective verbal and written communication skills, as well as how to use modern tools and techniques in the field of cardiovascular technology for patient compliance and disease management.
