This diploma typically spans 1- 2 years, depending on the institution, and covers key topics such as cardiac anatomy, hemodynamics, imaging techniques, catheterization procedures, and patient care. Students gain hands-on training in operating angiography machines, and assisting in angioplasty, pacemaker implantation, and other cardiac interventions. The program includes theoretical coursework, practical lab sessions, and clinical internships in hospitals or cardiac care centers. Graduates can pursue careers as Cath Lab Technologists, Cardiac Technicians, or Cardiovascular Technologists in healthcare institutions, assisting cardiologists in life-saving procedures. Eligibility usually requires 10+2 (Science stream) or equivalent qualifications.
