Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Cardiology or Cardiac Technology is a specialized paramedical degree designed to train students in cardiac anatomy, physiology, and technology. It focuses on preparing skilled cardiac technologists who assist in diagnosing and managing cardiovascular conditions using cutting-edge diagnostic tools and procedures.

This course blends academic knowledge with hands-on training in cardiac catheterization labs, electrocardiogram (ECG) testing, echocardiography, stress testing, and emergency cardiac procedures.

Core Subjects Include:

• Human Anatomy & Physiology
• Basics of Cardiology
• Electrocardiography (ECG) & Holter Monitoring
• Echocardiography & TMT (Treadmill Testing)
• Cardiac Pathophysiology
• Pharmacology for Cardiac Patients
• Cardiac Instrumentation & Equipment
• Invasive and Non-Invasive Cardiology
• Emergency Cardiac Care
• Clinical Practicals & Internship

Students are trained to support procedures like angiography, angioplasty, and pacemaker implantation under the supervision of cardiologists.

🎓 Eligibility Criteria

• Completion of 10+2 with Science stream (Physics, Chemistry, Biology).
• Minimum 45–50% aggregate marks depending on institution.
