Expertise in cardiovascular assessments, stress testing supervision, and handling high-volume cardiology clinics sets cardiology NPs apart. Their ability to independently manage complex heart failure cases and coordinate multidisciplinary care is critical.
As cardiology NPs gain experience, they often take on leadership in outpatient and inpatient cardiac care, refine diagnostic testing skills, and contribute to protocol development. Their scope broadens to include mentoring junior staff and integrating new cardiovascular technologies.
