Hello aspirant

BCVT is bachelor degree in Cardiovascular Technology.

After  successful completion of BCVT course , you can be allowed to perform noninvasive procedures like echocardiography, treadmill and Holter testing under supervision of cardiologist and assist the cardiologist in cardiac catheterization laboratory.

Also Cardiovascular technologists prepare patients for invasive heart procedures, monitor patients blood pressure and heart rate with ECG equipment, notify the cardiologist immediately of any changes in the patient's conditions as well as assist the cardiologist during theprocedures .They can also perform Eco cardiography.

So Cardiovascular technologists hi old an important role in the diagnostic and  interventional procedures in cardiology. There is increasing need for these personnel as the number of cardiac centres and investigative facilities is increasing in the state by leaps and bounds. Unlike other disciplines  in medicine, cardiovascular technologists meet with the life and death situations. They also are trained in balloon angioplasty, valvoplasty, closure of congenital defects, pacemaker implantation  etc.

They have to be trained more rigorously and need to be more mature in their approach because mistakes may cost lives.
