Overview

Medical technologists for functional diagnostics independently perform functional diagnostic examinations in cardiology and angiology for patients of all ages. The core includes resting ECG, Holter ECG, exercise ECG and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, along with cardiac ultrasound and functional testing of peripheral vessels. They plan and prepare the examinations, check readings for plausibility during the examination and adapt the procedure if needed. They compile the results and present them to the physician for assessment. They assure the quality of examination processes, recognise emergencies and initiate first measures.
