Being a key driver in a healthcare team, cardiovascular professionals play an invaluable role in providing exceptional healthcare to patients before, during, and after heart-related procedures. From creating images for cardiologists to performing diagnostic tests, they ensure that a high-quality medical procedure is offered to patients. Moreover, cardiovascular technicians closely monitor the patient’s blood pressure and heart rate throughout these procedures.

In order to prevent, adjust to and recover from cardiac illness, nurses and allied health professionals develop, test and implement interventions. Not only that, but their scope of work revolves around taking emergency calls and saving the lives of those having a heart attack.

Supporting them should be our utmost priority as they continue to deliver outstanding patient care and save lives in our communities. Communication, empathy, and attention to detail are the key traits of a cardiovascular professional, and it’s only fair if their efforts are appreciated in the same manner. This Cardiovascular Recognition Week honors the contributions of healthcare professionals and the effectiveness they bring to a patient’s life.
