Cardiovascular technology is an allied health profession specifically focused on the diagnosis and treatment of patients with cardiac and vascular disease. The Invasive Cardiovascular Technologist is employed in cardiovascular catheterization laboratories (cath labs). Our specialty of invasive cardiovascular technology will prepare the graduate to function in multiple facets in the cardiovascular catheterization laboratory. Working with a cardiologist, they perform sophisticated tests to diagnose and quantify cardiac and vascular disorders such as  coronary artery disease, cardiac valve disease, vascular disease, and disorders of the heart's electrical conduction system. Cardiovascular Technologists perform diagnostic cardiovascular catheterization studies on patients including coronary and vascular angiography and hemodynamic monitoring and analysis. They also assist the cardiologist in interventional procedures including coronary and vascular angioplasty, direct infarct angioplasty, aortic and mitral valve replacement and repair, septal defect repair, rotablator procedures, intra-coronary and vascular stenting, and pacemaker/defibrillator insertion."},"ceterms:alternateName":{"en-US":["Cardiovascular Technology"]},"ceterms:subjectWebpage":"https://catalog.fsw.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=20\u0026poid=2614\u0026returnto=3751","ceterms:credentialStatusType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CredentialStatus","ceterms:targetNode":"credentialStat:Active","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Credential Status"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Active"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Awards of the credential are ongoing."}},"ceterms:learningDeliveryType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/Delivery","ceterms:targetNode":"deliveryType:InPerson","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Delivery Type"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"In-Person Only"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Delivery is only face-to-face."}}],"ceterms:instructionalProgramType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/Default.aspx?y=56","ceterms:targetNode":"https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/cipdetail.aspx?y=56\u0026cip=51.0901","ceterms:codedNotation":"51.0901","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Classification of Instructional Programs"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Cardiovascular Technology/Technologist."},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"A program that prepares individuals to perform invasive, noninvasive, and peripheral examinations of the cardiovascular system at the request of physicians to aid in diagnoses and therapeutic treatments.
