4.00 Credits
(Prerequisites: Program Admission Corequisite: AHS 104, CVT 103, CVT 110, VAS 110 [all tracks]) Provides an overview of cardiovascular invasive diagnosis and therapy. Includes an introduction of the cardiac catheterization lab. Topics include: xray therapy, safety, positioning, coronary arteriography, pharmacology, invasive cardiac measurements and calculations, and specialty procedures.
-
4.00 Credits
This course includes an intensive study of the role of the Cardiovascular Technology student in the various diagnostic invasive cardiac catheterization procedures. This includes identification of angiographic images and data as well as basic interventional techniques. Competencies are developed in hemodynamic calculations such as quantitative LV volumes, valve area, and pressure waveforms; and additional competencies in cardiac pharmacology, and cardiac pathology. Lab experience will be provided.
-
9.00 Credits
Offers an intensive study of the role of the cardiovascular technologist in the various invasive cardiac catheterization procedures such as right and left heart procedures, temporary pacemakers, Swan-Ganz catheters, and coronary angioplasty. Basic competencies are developed in hemodynamic calculations such as quantitative left ventricular volumes, valve area, and pressure waveforms in classroom, lab, and clinical settings. Additional topics include: emergency life support, cardiac pharmacology, and cardiac pathology and advance cardiac life support.
-
9.00 Credits
Offers an intensive study of the role of the cardiac catheterization technologist in advanced cardiovascular procedures related to the catheterization lab and to open heart surgery. Topics include: electrophysiology, pacemaker and implantable defibrillators, pediatric heart catheterization, blood gases, cardiac output, shunt determination, heart lung machine, cardiac assist devices, and the intra-aortic balloon pump.
-
12.00 Credits
(Prerequisites: CVT 122, CVT 126) Develops clinical skills by active participation in a cardiac catheterization laboratory. Topics include: cardiac catheterization lab, special radiologic procedures, pacemakers, coronary angioplasty, computer operations and calculation, and surgical specialty procedures.
-
5.00 Credits
(Prerequisites: CVT 104, CVT 108, CVT 110, CVT 111. Corequisite: CVT 120) The student will develop entry level cardiac cath scrub skills necessary to assist with left heart catheterization and angiography. The student will develop skills using the Seldinger method used for sheath and catheter insertion and any deviation according to individual physician preference. The student will develop basic patient monitoring skills expected while performing scrub duties.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisites: CVT 120, CVT 124. Corequisite: CVT 121, AHS 102) Provides hands-on experiences in performing invasive cardiovascular procedures.
