Diagnostic radiography or cardiac physiology ?

Hey guys,
I am currently studying an Access to science course & have applied for Diagnostic radiography 2017/2018 . So far, three university offered me a place & i am still waiting for the other 2 .
Unfortunately, after i did the work placement , i've decided not to go for Diagnostic radiography as it was quite physically demanding job for me.
Hence i want some more information about cardiac physiology from anyone who works in that field or studying that course...... ( i have already booked an appointment for my work shadowing )
Thank you so much !

Hi, I am going to be studying Cardiac Physiology in next year (hopefully). The key difference between radiography and CP is that CP focuses mainly on the cardiovascular and respiratory system where as radiography can be any part of the body. You will have alot of paitent contact with both careers and there is a extreme demand for both CP and radiographers. CP is more to do with saving lives e.g helping out during angioplasties and radiography is more to do with taking medical images. I know this information is very vauge, i dont know too much about radiography. Hope this helps :smile:.
