B.Sc. in Cardiac Technology is a 3-year full-time undergraduate course divided into 6 semesters. Cardiac Technology is an allied course in medicine.
Cardiac Technologists assist physicians during invasive cardiovascular testing; a tube is inserted into one of the blood vessels that carry blood into the heart.
The job of a technician is to perform tasks that require less medical training before and during the procedure so doctors can focus on the results of the test.
Technology has been designed to train students to take care of patients with cardiopulmonary diseases with the help of treatment and pre/post-surgery care.
The duties of a B.Sc Cardiac Care Technologists vary from assisting specialists during surgeries and operation to aiding the patient during the rehabilitation period. A Cardiac Care Technologist will look into operating important and relevant instruments, while also monitoring the heart and pulse rate.
Those aspiring for the course will spend a duration of 3 years learning different subjects and topics in the area, while also be asked for an internship on the completion of their course.
B. Sc. in Cardiovascular technology (B.Sc-CVT) is a 4-year program including internship designed to cover all aspects of cardiovascular disease management and care. Learning of complex diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that involve use of various equipments computer hardware tools machines and pharmacological agents are part of the programme that enable students to acquire skills for management of various cardiac disorders. Cardiac Technologists assist physicians in diagnosing and treating cardiac (heart) and peripheral vascular (blood vessel) conditions preparing patients for open-heart surgery implanting pacemakers monitoring patients during these procedures performing cardiac stress tests and electrocardiograms using and maintaining the medical equipment that catches irregular heartbeats working in laboratory settings on real patients management of various cardiac disorders having complex diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Cardiac Technologists use diagnostic cardiology equipment and monitor resultant data typically in assistance to a physician. During cardiovascular testing a tube is inserted into one of the blood vessels that carries blood into the heart.
