Cardiovascular
technicians assist physicians in diagnosing and treating
cardiac and blood vessel ailments. Cardiovascular technologists
often 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 physicians
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 if a blockage exists in the blood vessels
that supply the heart muscle and help diagnose other problems.
Employment in this field is expected to grow relatively
fast. An aging population is expected to create substnatial
job prospects going forward. Most cardiovascular technician
jobs are based in hospitals.
