MGM School of Biomedical Sciences, Constituent of MGM institute of Health Sciences (Deemed University u/s of 3UGC Act,1956 ) Accredited by NAAC with “A++” Grade

Department of Cardiac Care Technology

It involves learning of complex diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that involve use of various equipment, computer hardware, tools, machines and pharmacological agents. This programme enables students to acquire skills for management of various cardiac disorders. Students will be trained to apply specialized occupational theory, skills and concepts to work independently as qualified cardiovascular technologist and becomes an integral member of the cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology laboratory teams. The CVT’s primary role is to perform, at the direction of a qualified physician, technical procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular injury and disease.

Cardiology and CVTS services was established in year 2009.

First installation of Phillips FD 10 flat panel cath. lab in this region

Introduced Paediatric Cardiac Surgery unit in the year 2011 & Paediatric Cardiology in year 2012

Started DM. Cardiology programme from the year 2016

Only centre in the region to perform complex paediatric and cardio vascular surgeries and minimal invasive cardiac procedures

Conducted 1020 paediatric cardiology procedure since last 5 years

Currently doing more than 350 cardiac procedures per month along with more than 700 Echocardiography

Average 55 CVTS surgeries are performed every month

Scope

There will also be job opening due to current cardiovascular professionals retiring or leaving the field for other reasons. Because the profession is relatively small and competitive, job security should be high for these cardiac professionals.

Graduate of this programme are placed in multispeciality hospitals to assist the Physicians as:

  • Cardiovascular Technician
  • Echocardiographer
  • Cardiac Sonographer
  • Cardiac Electrophysiology Specialist
  • Vascular technologists
  • Cardiac catheterization
  • Intervention technologist

Those intrested in higher studies can join for M.Sc. Programme and take up teaching CVTs as a carrier
