Master’s of Cardiovascular Technology
PROGRAM CONTENT
To prepare and train the students for working as a Cardiovascular Technologist in Healthcare Institutions where they will manage the machines and care for patients who are suffering from cardiovascular problems.
ABOUT THE COURSE
As the population ages and lifestyles change, the prevalence of disorders is on the rise, leading to an increase in complications affecting the heart and other bodily systems. Consequently, heart conditions and related ailments are becoming the primary cause of mortality.
Fortunately, advancements in medical technology, alongside heightened awareness of cardiovascular disease symptoms, enable earlier detection of heart-related issues. Presently, the management of various cardiac disorders involves the utilization of sophisticated diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, incorporating diverse equipment, computer hardware, tools, machinery, and pharmaceuticals.
The effective delivery of cardiovascular healthcare relies heavily on the safe and proficient operation of this equipment and devices. With the growing utilization of cardiovascular technologies, there's a heightened demand for trained technologists and technicians proficient in cardiovascular technology programs to conduct these procedures.
These programs aim to educate and prepare students to specialize as either Invasive or Non-Invasive Cardiovascular Specialists, commonly referred to as Cardiovascular Technologists (CVTs).The Invasive Cardiovascular Specialist is a healthcare professional who is an integral member of the cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology laboratory teams. The CVT’s primary role is to perform, at the direction of a qualified physician, technical procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular injury and disease.
The Non-Invasive Cardiovascular Specialist is a healthcare professional who practices at the
Cardio OPD and performs diagnostic tests such as Electrocardiography, Echocardiography and Treadmill Test among others, and on patients who are admitted for various cardiovascular diseases related symptoms or problems.
