Ensured that all equipment used in the laboratory was maintained in a safe and sterile condition at all times. Operated imaging equipment such as fluoroscopy and ultrasound scanners to obtain images of patients' hearts for diagnosis purposes.

Assessed patient's response to treatment and monitored their progress throughout the course of treatment.

Provided technical assistance to other medical staff during cardiovascular interventions such as venoplasty and Impella placement procedures if required.

Collaborated with other physicians and healthcare professionals regarding patient care plans.

Attended continuing education programs related to cardiovascular technology.

Participated in research projects related to advancing treatments for cardiovascular disease.

Examined test results of cardiac examinations, blood tests and technology assisted imaging to help reach diagnoses.

Administered emergency cardiac care for life-threatening heart problems.

One of the lab's main preceptors for new staff members and students for the past 7 years.

Performed and assisted with diagnostic cardiac catheterizations, left and right heart catherizations, pacemaker implantations and device extractions along side Cardiologists.

Assisted with device implant procedures such as Atrial Septal Defect Closures and implanting new valves.

Monitored patient's hemodynamics during invasive cardiovascular procedures.

Maintained accurate records of all invasive cardiovascular procedures performed via MacLab software.

Performed stress testing using EKG machines while monitoring vital signs.

Obtained blood samples for laboratory analysis according to established protocols.

Ensured that all equipment used in the laboratory was maintained in a safe and sterile condition at all times. Conducted quality control checks on laboratory instruments to ensure accuracy of results.

Prepared medications for use during cardiac catheterization procedures as ordered by physician or cardiologist. Operated imaging equipment such as fluoroscopes, ultrasound scanners, and DYNA CT scanners to obtain images of patients' hearts for diagnosis purposes. Assessed patient's response to treatment and monitored their progress throughout the course of treatment. Instructed patients on lifestyle changes that can help improve their overall health following a cardiovascular intervention.

Provided technical assistance to other medical staff during cardiovascular interventions such as angioplasty or stenting procedure if required.

Collaborated with other healthcare professionals regarding patient care plans.

Practiced in large teaching hospital focusing on diagnosis and treatment of acute cardiovascular events including myocardial infarction, heart failure and trauma involving cardiovascular system.

Examined test results of cardiac examinations, blood tests and technology assisted imaging to reach diagnoses. Handled invasive line placement and management for patients in ICU and cardiac care unit.

Administered emergency cardiac care for life-threatening heart problems.

Optimized treatment plans based on new test results and changes in patients' conditions.

Helped patients reduce cardiovascular risk by advising on improvement to diet, activity levels and other factors impacting disease risk.

Used cardiac catheterization and other invasive procedures to diagnose and treat cardiovascular conditions.

Tested pulmonary and cardiovascular systems with physical and laboratory assessments.

Performed exercise electrocardiogram tests to monitor cardiovascular activity under stress.

Performed inventory management, ensured supplies needed for cases were on order, found replacements for supplies that were on backorder, scanned inventory into Qsight system when arrived, reconciled supplies at end of each case, and worked with cardiologist/radiologist to parr down inventory and save our department's budget.
