Job Description

Clinical responsibilities

Diagnosing heart conditions

: Interpret diagnostic tests such as cardiac catheterizations, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), echocardiograms, and stress tests to evaluate a patient's cardiovascular health.

Performing interventional procedures

: Use catheters to perform procedures like angioplasty and stent placement to open narrowed or blocked arteries.

Emergency care

: Respond to and treat emergencies such as heart attacks (myocardial infarction) by performing life-saving procedures to restore blood flow.

Structural heart interventions

: Repair or replace heart valves and close congenital heart defects (e.g., atrial septal defects) using catheter-based techniques.

Peripheral vascular interventions

: Treat conditions affecting blood vessels outside the heart, such as carotid or peripheral artery disease, using angioplasty and stenting.

Patient management

: Provide pre- and post-procedure care, manage patient medications, and track recovery.
Collaborative and professional responsibilities

Patient consultation

: Consult with patients to discuss their diagnosis, explain treatment options, and provide information on post-procedure care.

Collaboration with healthcare teams

: Work with a multidisciplinary team, including general cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, nurses, and technicians, to coordinate comprehensive patient treatment.
Common procedures performed

Coronary Angioplasty and Stenting

: A catheter with a balloon is used to open blocked coronary arteries, and a stent is often placed to keep the artery open.

Cardiac Catheterization

: A diagnostic procedure where a catheter is threaded through a blood vessel to the heart to evaluate heart function and blood flow.

Atherectomy

: The removal of plaque buildup from the walls of arteries.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

: A minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve.

Valvuloplasty

: The use of a balloon catheter to widen a narrowed heart valve.

Closure of congenital heart defects

: Repair holes in the heart, such as atrial septal defects (ASD).

Thrombectomy

: The removal of blood clots from arteries.
