Invasive Cardiovascular (CVTT)

This course includes basic life support, cardiac pharmacology, and emergency procedures as they relate to the cath lab experience.

This course is a continuation of Catheterization Lab Fundamentals I with emphasis on X-ray technology and interventional procedures in the cardiac cath lab.

This course is an introduction to the field of invasive cardiovascular technology and the role of the cardiovascular technologist. Topics include medical terminology, ethical/legal aspects, and communication skills. Prerequisite or Co-Requisites ENGL 1301

This course is a health-related work-based learning experience that enables the student to apply specialized occupational theory, skills, and concepts. Direct supervision is provided by the clinical professional.

This course is a study of the anatomy, physiology, and structural relationships of the human heart and vascular system. Focuses on cardiac anatomy, electrocardiology, cardiac hemodynamics, and the innervation of the heart.

This course includes basic principles, theory, and operation of cardiovascular equipment, electronics, and instrumentation.

This course is an introduction to the diagnostic procedures used in the cath lab. Prior didactic instruction in cardiac physiology and medical instrumentation applied to cath lab procedures including patient preparation and monitoring, angiographic equipment set-up, and the coronary angiography procedure itself.
