Check out all of the information on this career.
Cardiovascular Technicians perform diagnostic examinations at the request of a physician. They can create data from which a patient's correct anatomic and physiologic diagnosis may be established. Cardiovascular Technicians assist physicians and other medical personnel in diagnosing and treating medical problems related to the body's cardiac and peripheral vascular systems.
Cardiovascular Technicians who specialize in cardiac catheterization procedures, also known as invasive technology, are called cardiology technologists. They assist a physician who inserts a small catheter through a patient's blood vessel in the leg into the heart to determine if a blockage exists, and for other diagnostic purposes.
Cardiovascular Technicians may also specialize in non-invasive peripheral vascular testing. They use ultrasound equipment to perform tests called echocardiograms, in which a picture of the heart in motion is transmitted through ultrasound to a video screen.
Cardiovascular Technicians also schedule appointments, type up physician interpretations, maintain patient files, and care for medical equipment.
