Are you virtually invisible as a cardiac technologist?
Without doubt, the digital age has changed the way we learn and communicate in medicine. It has also changed the way medicine is marketed to patients; cardiology services included. If you think marketing has nothing to do with you as a cardiac technologist, you may be right, but not in the way you expect.
By now, most private cardiology practices, and a growing number of hospital cardiology departments, have their own website (and possibly even a social media page). Look up any of these and you'll see information for prospective patients about the range of cardiac tests offered, and any preparation that might be required. There's usually information for referring doctors too.

Tech's Triad: The synergy of 'tech' with 'knowledge-y'
Having the latest equipment makes our job easier, faster, more accurate and therefore more effective. But, it takes more than just fancy machines for patients and technologists to get the most benefit out of technology. Wherever technology is involved (and this goes beyond cardiology or even medicine) the best results are achieved with what I think of as 'Tech's Triad': the best equipment, the best systems and the best operators.
Cardiology in the Next Ten Years
Of course, I believe that in the next decade we will bear witness to revelatory advances in research and treatment. We have already begun to see some of them. Take, for example, early detection.
Tech companies are targeting heart disease — here’s how
The technology is advancing much faster than it’s used in practice.
