What is a cardiovascular technologist?

As a cardiovascular technologist, you operate advanced diagnostic equipment to help treat heart conditions. Your job duties include operating and monitoring this equipment during invasive and noninvasive procedures, preparing patients for procedures, conducting cardiovascular tests, and preparing detailed reports for physicians focused on the recorded diagnostic information. A cardiovascular technologist regularly communicates with other members of the cardiac department, specifically engineers and technicians, to ensure all equipment is functioning properly. Your role is essential to develop effective treatment plans for patients.
