M.Sc. Cardiac Technology (5 Years) - Integrated

Course Overview

M.Sc. Cardiac Technology is a specialized postgraduate program designed to equip students with advanced knowledge and technical skills related to the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The course focuses on understanding cardiac anatomy, physiology, and pathology, along with hands-on training in operating and managing sophisticated cardiac diagnostic and therapeutic equipment such as ECG, echocardiography, stress tests, Holter monitoring, and cardiac catheterization. Students are trained to assist in invasive and non-invasive cardiac procedures, monitor patient vitals, and work as part of multidisciplinary cardiac care teams in clinical settings.

The program also includes modules on patient care, emergency response, pharmacology, and healthcare ethics to ensure holistic training. With a strong emphasis on clinical internships and research, students gain real-time exposure in hospital environments, enhancing their competency and confidence. Upon completion, graduates can pursue careers as cardiac technologists, clinical researchers, educators, or healthcare administrators in hospitals, cardiac centers, and diagnostic labs. The course also lays a strong foundation for further specialization or doctoral research in cardiovascular sciences.

Course Objectives

The objective is to develop highly skilled professionals capable of supporting cardiologists in diagnosing and managing cardiovascular disorders through the use of advanced cardiac care technology. The course aims to provide in-depth knowledge of cardiac anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology, along with hands-on training in operating diagnostic and interventional equipment. It emphasizes the development of clinical competencies in performing ECGs, echocardiography, stress testing, and assisting in cardiac catheterization procedures.
