What do Cardiovascular Specialists/Technologists do?
Cardiovascular technologists/specialists perform diagnostic and therapeutic tests on patients’ heart and lung systems, operating equipment like electrocardiogram (EKG) machines and ultrasound devices to produce images and analyze data.
They work as part of a medical team, preparing patients for procedures, monitoring vital signs, and communicating findings to physicians to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular conditions.
Responsibilities
Conducting Tests: They perform various cardiovascular tests, including EKGs to measure the heart’s electrical activity, stress tests to monitor the heart under exertion, and echocardiograms (ultrasound images of the heart).
Operating Equipment: Technologists use specialized equipment to record heartbeats, monitor blood pressure and heart rate, and operate diagnostic imaging equipment.
Data Analysis: They analyze the data and images from tests, looking for abnormalities and providing information to physicians.
Patient Care: This involves preparing patients physically for procedures, positioning them for examinations, monitoring their vital signs during tests, and ensuring their comfort.
Teamwork and Communication: Cardiovascular technologists work as part of a medical team, communicating effectively with physicians, surgeons, and other staff.
Documentation: They meticulously record patient information, update medical records, and write detailed reports on patient diagnostic and care activities.
Maintaining Equipment: They are responsible for cleaning, examining, and ensuring the proper functioning of the specialized equipment they use.
Environment
Cardiovascular technologists can work in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, operating rooms, and Medical and diagnostic labs.
Required Skills
Critical Thinking: To solve problems and make decisions in complex situations.
Attention to Detail: Essential for accurately interpreting test results and monitoring equipment.
Communication: Needed to convey information to physicians and families, especially in difficult situations.
Dexterity: Required to handle and operate small tools and equipment.
Teamwork: To effectively support the medical team.
Specialty Cardiovascular Specialists/Technologists
Cardiovascular Invasive Specialists/Technologists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 246XC2901X
A cardiovascular invasive specialist/technologist monitors patients’ heart rates and helps physicians in diagnosing and treating heart problems.
They assist with cardiac catheterization and prepare and monitor patients during open-heart surgery, as well as the insertion of pacemakers, defibrillators, and stents.
Cardiovascular Sonography Specialists/Technologists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 246XS1301X
A cardiovascular sonography technologist operates special equipment to create images and conduct tests of the cardiovascular system.
They work with physicians who view the images and test results to assess and diagnose medical conditions.
Vascular Specialist/Technologists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 246XC2903X
A vascular technologist, also known as a vascular sonographer, creates images of blood vessels and collects data that help physicians diagnose disorders affecting blood flow.
Vascular technologists often evaluate blood flow and identify blocked arteries or blood clots.
