Overview
According to the WHO, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the main cause of death globally, leading to 17.9 million lives each year. Another report from AHA Journals reveals that the demand for cardiothoracic surgeons is expected to increase by 46% by 2025 due to population growth and ageing. This indicates a bright future for individuals pursuing a course such as a B.Sc. (Hons) in Cardiac Care Technology.
The BSc Cardiac Care Technology (Hons) is a specialised undergraduate programme designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills required to excel in the field of cardiac care. Under this course, students engage in hands-on training, gaining practical experience operating cardiac diagnostic equipment and assisting in various cardiac procedures. The programme not only provides a strong foundation in cardiac care but also instils a sense of responsibility in graduates to contribute to the well-being of individuals with cardiovascular conditions.
The BSc Cardiac Care Technology syllabus covers a range of subjects, including cardiac anatomy and physiology, diagnostic procedures, medical instrumentation, and patient care in the context of cardiovascular health. Graduates are prepared for careers as cardiac technologists, working alongside healthcare professionals in hospitals, diagnostic centres, and cardiovascular clinics.

Highlights
Proctoral System
Under the Proctoral System, every student is assigned a faculty member as a Proctor or a mentor.
These mentors offer guidance, support and encouragement to students, helping them as they progress along their academic journey. From the choice of electives to their academic performance, from attendance to meeting their credit requirements, students can approach these mentors with any and every query.
Proctors also interact with parents/guardians and keep them updated on the progress of students.
To ensure that they reap the benefits of the Proctoral System, students are advised to be in regular contact with their Proctors.
Innovation Centre
At the Innovation Centre, students team up with faculty members to bring their innovative ideas to life.
Ideas are assessed based on their relevance to and impact on society. These are then translated into working projects that are entered in national and international competitions, and for registration as patents.
Hospital Posting
As part of the curriculum, students are posted to relevant departments of the hospital and gain exposure to the actual working of the department at the organisation. Students, in return, need to prepare a report of their observations and recommendations, preparing them for joining the hospital as soon as they graduate.
Partner Facilities
The Ramaiah Group was established in 1962 with a teaching hospital for medical students that was founded in 1985, and a Memorial Hospital in 2014. These hospitals cater to various income levels with a wide range of specialties. Students from AHS get hands-on training and home their skills under supervision at a state of art multispecialty hospitals.
