hours a day, 365 days a year by specially trained critical care nurses.
The Coronary Care Unit skillfully cares for patients experiencing suspected

those who require intense monitoring of vital signs and continuous IV
infusions of medications that support heart rate and blood pressure.
The Coronary Care Unit also cares for many patients following Cardiac Cath

skillful manner during an acute illness. The staff and the physicians in the
