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 AANPCB 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, with ACLS as 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 $132,300 (BLS OEWS, Nurse Practitioners (29-1171), median annual wage, May 2025). 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.
