Cardiac Scientist

A Cardiac Scientist conducts diagnostic tests and procedures to assess and monitor heart function. You might work in hospitals, clinics, or specialised cardiac centres. Cardiac Scientists focus on using advanced equipment to perform tests like electrocardiograms (ECGs), echocardiograms, and stress tests. You’ll analyse results, assist in diagnosing heart conditions, and contribute to treatment planning.

Cardiac Scientists play a vital role in cardiovascular healthcare. You’ll need to be detail-oriented and have a strong understanding of cardiac physiology and medical technology. You’ll work closely with cardiologists and other healthcare professionals to ensure patients receive accurate diagnoses and effective care for their heart conditions.
