- Cardiovascular technology is not your typical health care career. You work collaboratively with cardiologists. You'll watch patients visibly improve before your eyes, And the equipment is every techie's dream. What's more, Valencia's A.S. degree in Cardiovascular Technology has a job placement rate of 100 percent with starting salaries of $37,000-$50,000 a year.
An A.S. degree in Cardiovascular Technology provides a pathway to a bachelor's degree in Cardiopulmonary Science for advanced studies in echocardiography.

This career path would definitely be the way to go!
Cardiovascular Technologist is a degree program and cardiovascular technician is a diploma program
I'm still confused at the difference between cardiovascular technician and cardiovascular technologist. In terms of education and what they do on the job.
I believe it's the same thing as far as Wikipedia's info shows
Technicians I think to do less than a technologist. Technologists usually have higher certifications, I think(?)
Travis Heredy technologist takes 10 years of study. Whereas technician takes 2 years
@@alicronaldohitman Technologists takes about 4 years of study, you need an associates degree, and for technicians about 1 year, you need a certificate.
Both are same
I'm applying for this program fall of 2015 can't wait!
hi, did you get to apply and get in? i just finished the nursing program there.
kayrox2muzic I did get in but at the same time I also got chosen for the RT program at Seminole state. I chose RT because of different factors.
Ok thanks for answering! I am curious how this program is. I'm sure its tough. Valencia overall is tough, but they prepare you so well. Did you even get to start?
kayrox2muzic no. I received both letters of acceptance within one day of each other. It was a really hard choice what career path to choose but I'm very happy with the RT program. CVT seems seems awesome though.
I see. Good luck with everything! Stay focused 😃
I have been a cvt 28 years.. grossmont grade 1983
I went to school for CVT but it became hard for me. English being my second language it’s kinda hard to understand the process of this program. If you don’t mind please helping me understand the process of this program would be rally great.
myeyesinside out please I’ve been looking for someone help me understand the CVT program I have the resources but a little help would be very great.
Hi, I’m actually at grossmont thinking of applying to the cvt program, could you tell me about your experience?
Cardio vascular perfusion technology and cardio pulmonary perfusion technology are same course or different
after studing bsc cardiac what is the work i need to do in hospital
If you have the BS in cardiopulmonary you would need the RCIS credential or another licensed professional credential to be employed in most places.
Hey have u finished studying cvt ?

You would have to consult with a local university or college in your area. Both degree programs are completely different from each other in the states.
How much they make ?
Dear ma’am/sir,
I am still exploring my career options but I would like to become either a cardiovascular technologist or a physician assistant. I was told I can take the nursing route or apply to a cardiovascular technology program. I would like to know if there’s any other degree program that can help me attain either goal when I decide which career I’d want in the future?
Kind regards
Sy’rai
Hi Sy'rai, you should speak directly with one of our career advisors, check out forms.valenciacollege.edu/career-center-contact and/or click the Online Chat button here: net1.valenciacollege.edu/future-students/

Bro cardiac technology and cardio care technology is same..? Pls reply
Hlo can a paramedical student do general mba,mph,mha please reply
is dcvt a good option？？ can anyone help me pls...
Hi Shafla, I asked our professors and they are not aware of a dcvt. At least this abbreviation is not an approved credential. Invasive CVTs are eligible to sit for the invasive registry which is the RCIS (Registered Cardiovascular Invasive Specialist) credential. A CVT can work in a diagnostic only cardiac setting but there is not a standard, approved credential for that. However, a non invasive CVT program graduate can sit for the board to be a cardiac sonographer which can have a credential of ACS (advanced cardiac sonographer) or RCS (Registered Cardiac Sonographer).
Please let us know if you have any follow-up questions.
@@valenciacollege I have done a diploma in Cardiovascular technology is there a chance for me to work in a cath lab?
Once we get the degree in cardiovascular technology what can we pursue to become cardiologist?
Still would have to follow regular protocol and go through medical school and residency
how long does it take to study Cardiovascular Technologist
4 years
Nice one
What is the difference between a Cardiovascular tech and a Echocardiograph Technician?
I know this reply is 3 years late... But for anyone wondering, CVT=stress tests, resting EKGs, Holter (you're basically looking at heart rhythms for all of them ) and Cath Lab if you're invasive.
Echocardiography= Ultrasound for the heart
@@dinobee3619 Hey have u finished doing this course if so, can u tell if its interesting and if there is a nice scope ?
An echocardiograph technician is usually referring to an Echosonographer which is a college degree field that specializes in non-invasive diagnostic testing using ultrasound to diagnosis cardiac issues. Cardiovascular Technologists is a college degree field that performs invasive cardiology procedures to diagnosis heart diseases or complex interventional procedures such as balloon angioplasties, stents, pacemaker/defibrillator implants and emergent procedures for people having heart attacks. Both echosonographers and CVT's have board exams.
Is it the same thing as Cardiology Technologist or not?
A cardiovascular technician is someone who performs non-invasive diagnostic tests such as EKGs, holter monitors, stress testing and such. this job does not require a college degree and the skills can be learned on the job. The pay scale is much lower than that of a cardiovascular technologist. A cardiovascular technologist requires a college degree of a minimum of an Associates degree in a healthcare field or specifically a CVT program. The entry level pay is substantially higher than that of a technician. The job duties of a technologist vary greatly and include invasive cardiology procedures to diagnosis heart diseases or complex interventional procedures such as balloon angioplasties, stents, pacemaker/defibrillator implants and emergent procedures for people having heart attacks.
What is starting pay for Cardiovascular technologist?
Hey... I m from Pakistan doing bs in cardiovascular technology.
Is there any master program here?
Hey..I'm about to do BS in cardiovascular technology this year
Can you tell if you got to do any masters and what are you upto now? Are you getting experience or doing a job?
Regards Valencia college I am from Kenya and currently undergoing a diploma course as operation theatre technician,can I find a place to study as cardiovascular technologist or technician under scholarship, thanks
Hi Alvin, we have information about scholarships that may be available to international students at: international.valenciacollege.edu/scholarships.php and you may wish to contact our International Student Services department at international.valenciacollege.edu/
Do they use sethoscope??
Same question here
@@03img-p.mahalakshmi95 hey 👋 are uh planning to do same course ??
Yes, they do use stethoscopes. Mostly in taking blood pressures (for vital signs) and doing stress tests
Is a cardiovascular physiologist the same with a Cardiac care technologist?
Our program is for CVT which is credentialed as a RCIS (Registered Cardiovascular Invasive Specialist). A CCT is not an RCIS.
Can a BSc Critical Care Technologist (4 years graduation) play the role of Cardiovascular Technologist or Respiratory Therapist ? I did that BSc Critical Care Techonology course (know handeling all kind of medical devices in ICU) from India, & want to do job in abroad. In which post I can apply for job...? Please reply please.🙏🏼
This is a college. If you want to apply for a CVT job in the states you would have to apply for a degree program that would sponsor you for your F1 visa as an international student. Then you would have to find an employer that will sponsor you for a work permit which may / may not happen because it takes forever for the work permit to come in the states and its a hassle for employers.
I was wondering what is cardiac nurse and cardiovascular technologist?
Hi Cari, a cardiac nurse is a RN that works in a cardiac-related area. They could work in a pre/post cardiac procedure unit taking care of patients before or after invasive cardiac procedures. They could work in a non-invasive area where diagnostic procedures are performed such as stress tests, ekgs, cardioversions, and echocardiograms are performed. They may also work on a cardiac floor as a RN taking care of patients who have a cardiac related diagnosis such as CHF, pulmonary hypertension, irregular heartbeats and others.
A CVT (Cardiovascular Technologist) is a person that is trained to perform specific cardiac procedures. They can be invasive or non invasive CVTs. Invasive CVTs work in the cardiac Cath or electrophysiology labs performing procedures such as placing stents, heart valves, pacemakers, and implantable defibrillators. Non invasive CVTs are trained to do non invasive diagnostic testing such as echocardiograms.
Please let us know if you have any follow-up questions.
Valencia College I understand but I real want to know what masters course can I do after CVT?
@@joshuaezekiel1319 For Master's programs post-BS, the options depend on the path the graduate would want to take. He or she could do Education, Healthcare Administration or Leadership, Research, and some choose to do an MBA, especially if looking for hospital administration roles.
Can i get job while take diploma in CVT
Some students work during the first year of the program but then due to time and rigor in the second year stop working or work very minimal hours. The second year is M-F classes and clinicals all day. That only leaves weekends for week and/or study time.
I'd like to be a x ray technologist or cardiovascular technologist at kaiser
course duration in India....anyone plz help me to get out of this doubt...
3 years college and anther 6months internship
Salary?
Wts the salary
Salary ranges vary by region. But entry level can be $50,000 and up based on location and amount of call time the employee does.
I've completed bsc graduation in Chemistry & now I want to do cath lab technician course. Can I do? & What will be the starting salary?

No radiografer in your cathlab room??????
There may or may not be a radiology technologist in the cath lab. The scope of the RCIS credential includes radiation under the direction of a physician. States laws and facility policies dictate what is allowed in the practice.
