Course Overview

What is a ‘Bachelor of Science in Cardiac Technology’?

Bachelor of Science in Cardiac technology or BSc. Cardiac technology as the name suggests
is a course related to the study of the human heart aka cardiology. This is one of the best
undergraduate courses with a specialization in cardiovascular technology.
If you have no idea about what “cardiovascular” means, let me make it clear for you. ‘Cardio’ as
said earlier refers to the human heart and ‘vascular’ means the peripheral vascular aka the
blood vessels. Together these make the circulatory system which exactly is what’s being
studied in this course.
You will be focussing on the cardiac health aspects. You will be learning to diagnose, manage
and treat various cardiac diseases. You will be the one who prepares the patients for open-heart
surgery, pacemaker implantation, and several other cardiac casualties. You will have to keenly
monitor the patients throughout the procedures while being a part of the same.
With all this knowledge acquired, you will be ready to join the physicians and assist them in
managing such cases. This degree course is career-oriented, which trains the individual
theoretically and practically and thus has got many job opportunities.
