Cardiovascular technologists are allied health professionals who perform tests at the request of a physician to obtain information about a patient's heart and blood vessel anatomy and function so the physician can make a diagnosis. You will learn to use a variety of electronic monitoring and other equipment for electrocardiography, multi-stage stress testing, Holter and ambulatory monitor analysis, tilt table testing, pacemaker clinics and blood pressure analysis. Simulation labs and clinical placement settings exposes the student to practical learning.

Careers for this field will find graduates working in hospital settings and clinics such as Cardiac Stress testing and ECG Departments, operating room and emergency, community agencies, long term care agencies, medical sales and services, education institutions, patient education, rehabilitation clinics, and research. Graduates of the program must meet the requirements of the jurisdiction in which they wish to practice.
