The Cardiovascular Technology Program admitted its first class in 1982 in response to the need for qualified individuals to work in Sentara Norfolk General Hospital’s cardiac catheterization, cardiac ultrasound, and vascular ultrasound labs.  Today, Cardiovascular Technologists in all specialties work throughout Sentara Healthcare in various settings and facilities.

Cardiovascular Technologists are employed throughout the country in hospitals, clinics, physician offices, imaging centers, operating rooms, clinical research laboratories and the biomedical industry. Cardiovascular Technologists assist physicians and surgeons in performing many diagnostic and therapeutic procedures both in the hospital and in the outpatient setting. The highly specialized fields of Cardiovascular Technology are in high demand.  Sentara College of Health Sciences offers four specialty Programs:  Invasive Cardiovascular Technology, Cardiac Electrophysiology, Non-Invasive Vascular Study, and Adult Echocardiography.
