• Assist in the use and interpretation of advanced imaging techniques, including intravascular ultrasound, Doppler velocimetry, and cine angiographic projections.

• Calculate and interpret hemodynamic parameters and cardiac pressure waveforms.

• Identify coronary anatomy and support physicians during angioplasty (PTCA), atherectomy, and other complex procedures.

• Prepare and manage the procedural table setup and required sterile supplies.

• Operate and understand the full suite of cath lab fluoroscopy and imaging equipment.

• Accurately document catheterization events and monitor patient status in real-time using specialized systems.

• Perform ACT (Activated Clotting Time) testing, cardiac outputs, and O₂ saturations.

• Understand and assist in electrophysiologic studies, pacemaker implants, defibrillator placements, and therapeutic ablation procedures.

• Recognize abnormal lab values (e.g., ABGs, electrolytes, hemoglobin, BUN, creatinine) and report to physicians promptly.

• Demonstrate complete familiarity with cardiac medications (generic/trade names), their uses, dosages, and pharmacologic actions.

• Lead and participate in special projects and relevant department committees as needed.

• Support orientation and training of new staff and promote continuous learning and team development.
