How do they match: Cardiovascular Technologists and Technicians

  • Cardiovascular Technologists and Technicians

  • Check, test, and maintain cardiology equipment, making minor repairs when necessary, to ensure proper operation.
  • Assess cardiac physiology and calculate valve areas from blood flow velocity measurements.
  • Compare measurements of heart wall thickness and chamber sizes to standard norms to identify abnormalities.
  • Conduct electrocardiogram (EKG), phonocardiogram, echocardiogram, stress testing, or other cardiovascular tests to record patients' cardiac activity, using specialized electronic test equipment, recording devices, or laboratory instruments.
  • Observe gauges, recorder, and video screens of data analysis system during imaging of cardiovascular system.
  • Observe ultrasound display screen and listen to signals to record vascular information, such as blood pressure, limb volume changes, oxygen saturation, or cerebral circulation.
  • Obtain and record patient identification, medical history, or test results.

  • Record patient medical histories.
