                                            As the only professional association that is home to all non-physicians in the cardiovascular field, this piece from our friends at Cath Lab Professional resonates a little more. 
To ACVP, your career is all that exists. 
Thank you to all CVPs!                                        
                                    
                                                                        
                                        My career is one most don't know exists… until they need it. 
I stand in the cath lab, the weight of lead on my shoulders a constant reminder of the gravity I hold. My world is the rhythm of a heartbeat and the intricate, vital map of your arteries. I meet your frightened eyes, steady my voice, and prepare the devices that mean the difference between a moment and a lifetime. We move as one in that sterile light, fighting for more time. You may never know my acronyms, but you trust me with your life. I see you. I fight for you. This is my calling.
I am a Cardiovascular Technologist.
