Hi CardioCarePro! Thanks for your question. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for cardiovascular technologists and technicians, including Invasive Cardiovascular Techs, was $59,120 in May 2020. However, salaries can vary based on factors like location, experience, and employer. For example, those working in hospitals may earn more than those in diagnostic laboratories or physician offices. I hope that helps!

Just wanted to add, CardioCarePro, that the job outlook for cardiovascular techs is quite positive. Employment is projected to grow 10 percent from 2020 to 2030, much faster than the average for all occupations. So, not only is the salary potentially appealing, but the career prospects look good too!

One thing to keep in mind with the salary range, CardioCarePro, is that becoming an Invasive Cardiovascular Tech typically requires completion of a postsecondary nondegree award or a professional certificate program, as well as certification. These requirements may impact the initial salary but can lead to higher earnings over time as experience and expertise grow. Best of luck in your career exploration!
