4 minute read
Cardiovascular Technicians operate and monitor sophisticated equipment to record and evaluate a patient's heart activity. Those in this role are responsible for conducting a variety of cardiac and vascular tests to assess the heart's electrical and mechanical function. Cardiovascular Technicians work under the supervision of physicians and cardiologists, and must be able to explain test results and make recommendations for further treatment. Many professionals in this role perform additional tasks, such as educating patients on cardiovascular health and helping with daily administrative duties. This role may also be referred to as a Cardiac Technician or Cardiology Technician.
