Cardiology studies encompass a wide array of subjects related to the heart, its function, performance, examination, and human heart care. Managing heart diseases and understanding the equipment and technology used in cardiac surgery are among the broad aspects covered in cardiology courses.

Available Courses:

B.Sc in Cardiology

B.Sc in Cardiac Technology

B.Sc in Cardiovascular Technology

B.Sc in Thoracic Science

B.Sc Cardiac Technician

Diploma in Cardiology Technician

Diploma in Cardiothoracic Surgery

Eligibility:

To enroll in these courses, you typically need a minimum of 50% marks in your 12th standard examination with Biology, Physics, and Chemistry as your main subjects. However, some universities and colleges conduct entrance tests for admissions.

Curriculum:

The B.Sc cardiology programs cover a diverse curriculum, including basic anatomy, microbiology, physiology, biochemistry, advanced electrocardiography, echocardiography, cardiac technology, applied pharmacology, exercise stress testing, and ECG recording. Students also learn laboratory procedures such as blood tests, blood grouping, urinalysis, and various diagnostic tests.

Distinction:

Graduates of the B.Sc cardiology programs often work as assistants to doctors and technicians, conducting tests on patients. In contrast, those who complete an MS in Cardiology after their MBBS degree become super-specialized cardiovascular surgeons who are entitled to carry out surgeries to treat the patients.

Career Opportunities:

Upon completing a B.Sc in Cardiology, you can further pursue a 2-year M.Sc in Cardiology. Specialized career paths are available in fields such as Vascular Technology, Echocardiography, Interventional Cardiology, and Electrophysiology. 

Other job opportunities include Cardiac Clinical Nurse, Medical Sonographer, Dialysis Technician, Nephrologist Technician, Consultant Nephrologist, and ICU Intensivist.

Salary levels vary depending on the hospital and your experience. Cardiology is an excellent choice for students interested in the medical field, especially those passionate about knowing the intricate functioning heart.
