Is there cardiac care technology?
Hello aspirant,
Yes, cardiac care technology is a specialized paramedical field that deals with diagnosing and treating heart-related conditions. It is offered as a B.Sc. Cardiac Care Technology program in many medical universities and colleges across India. The course focuses on training students to assist cardiologists in procedures such as echocardiography, stress testing, cardiac catheterization, and operation theatre assistance for heart surgeries. It is usually a 3 to 4-year undergraduate program, often followed by internships in hospitals. Demand for cardiac technologists is increasing due to the rise in cardiovascular cases across India. After completion, one can work in hospitals, diagnostic centers, or even pursue further specialization in cardiology-related fields.
Thank you!
