Cardiovascular Technology (CVT) is an allied health profession specifically dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of patients who have or may have cardiac and/or peripheral vascular disease. Registered Cardiovascular Invasive Specialists (RCIS) are proficient in the use and application of analytical equipment. They prepare patients for diagnostic and intervention procedures and examine patients at the request or direction of physicians. Through sampling and recording, technologists provide a foundation of data from which precise anatomic and physiologic diagnosis may be established.
