The Role
The Cardiology role at a glance
Cardiology nurse practitioners manage cardiovascular disease across clinic and hospital settings — heart failure clinics, device and electrophysiology programs, cath lab teams, and cardiovascular surgery step-down units.
Core work includes guideline-directed medication titration, risk-factor management, device checks, stress-test supervision, and pre/post-procedure care alongside cardiologists.
Requirements & certification
- Graduate NP degree with national certification through AANP or ANCC (adult-gerontology or family track per the practice population)
- Inpatient and ICU cardiology roles typically require the acute care track: AGACNP-BC (ANCC) or ACNPC-AG (AACN)
- Active state APRN licensure and DEA registration; ACLS is standard
- Employers screen for ECG interpretation and guideline-directed heart-failure therapy fluency
Highlights
Why Cardiology?
Procedure-Adjacent Practice
Cath lab, EP, and device clinics keep the work technical and hands-on.
Chronic + Acute Mix
Longitudinal heart failure panels balance against acute inpatient consults.
NP-Staffed Service Lines
Heart failure, device, and consult services are routinely staffed by NPs alongside cardiologists.
Compensation
Cardiology Nurse Practitioner salary
Nationally, nurse practitioners earn a median annual wage of $129,210 (BLS OEWS, Nurse Practitioners (29-1171) — median annual wage, May 2024). Cardiology packages frequently layer call stipends and procedural-clinic premiums onto base, so an inpatient or call-carrying role and a clinic-only role rarely price the same even in one system.
