Associate in Applied Science - Invasive Cardiovascular Technology

Program Overview

The invasive cardiovascular technologist is a health care professional who, through the use of specific high-technology equipment and at the direction of a qualified physician, performs procedures on patients leading to the diagnosis and treatment of congenital and acquired heart disease, and peripheral vascular disease.

As a member of the cardiac catheterization team, the cardiovascular technologist is a surgical scrub assistant, monitors the patient's condition and operates other "CATH Lab." equipment.

The most important "CATH Lab" studies are coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention (where stents, balloons, plaque removal devices, and other treatments to restore blood flow are deployed), right heart catheterization (where blood flow measurements are made), electrophysiology (where irregular heartbeats are created, studied and treated) and pacemaker implantations.

Learning Outcomes

  • Demonstrate collaboration and effective communication among all health care team members in the delivery of cardiac care in all patient settings.
  • Analyze information and research and apply it in the health care setting.
  • Apply the principles of cultural awareness formulating appropriate modifications to health care plans to accommodate cultural differences.
  • Design and implement appropriate treatment plans in all healthcare settings where cardiac care is delivered.
  • Apply advanced cardiac care competencies in all health care settings.
