Medical Science has witnessed a significant advancement in Cardiac Care technology in recent years; Electrocardiogram (ECG), Exercise Stress Testing, Echocardiogram (ECHO), and Cardiac catheterization have been proven as lifesaving technologies. There is also an increase in the health care setup having dedicated cardiac care facilities. However, these advanced technologies require trained healthcare professionals who can operate machines and can assist cardiologists to make the best use of the available technology. There is a dearth of such trained manpower for cardiac care technology.
The 1-year course of “POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA OF CARDIAC CARE TECHNOLOGY” is specifically designed to meet this requirement. Students would be trained in various cardiac care technologies mainly Electrocardiogram (ECG), Exercise Stress Testing (Treadmill Test-TMT), and Echocardiogram (ECHO) with an orientation to cardiac catheterization under the expert guidance of teaching faculties/clinicians of the Department of Medicine of Pramukhswami Medical College and would get an extensive hands-on training at Shree Krishna Hospital as well as at Bhanubhai and Madhuben Patel Cardiac Centre; Charutar Arogya Mandal’s premier Institutions.
Eligibility: B.Sc. (in any subject) from a recognized University.
Scope / Outcome: In the Cardiac Technology Course, students will develop the basic skills necessary to monitor patients for any type of cardiac problems within a healthcare setting. The student will be able to do the ECG and other cardiac investigations enabling the doctor to make an accurate diagnosis and treat the patient.
