About Cardiac Tech Jobs
Cardiovascular technologists assist doctors in diagnosing and treating cardiac (heart) and peripheral vascular (blood vessel) problems. Cardiovascular technologists may specialize in three areas of practice-invasive cardiology, echocardiography, and vascular technology. Cardiovascular technicians, who specialize in electrocardiograms (EKGs), stress testing, and Holter monitors are known as cardiographic, or EKG technicians.
Cardiovascular technologists specializing in invasive procedures are called cardiology technologists. They assist doctors with cardiac catheterization procedures in which a small tube, or catheter, is wound through a patient's blood vessel from a spot on the patient's leg into the heart. The procedure can determine whether a blockage exists in the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle. The procedure also can help to diagnose other problems. Part of the procedure may involve balloon angioplasty, which can be used to treat blockages of blood vessels or heart valves without the need for heart surgery. Cardiology technologists assist physicians as they insert a catheter with a balloon on the end to the point of the obstruction. (Source: Occupational Outlook Handbook)
