Coronary Care Unit

MCH offers a 20 bed state-of-the-art Coronary Care Unit. The unit is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by specially trained critical care nurses.

The Coronary Care Unit skillfully cares for patients experiencing suspected or acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), cardiac arrhythmias (abnormal heart rates), unstable angina (chest pain), Congestive Heart Failure, and 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 Lab procedures such as balloon angioplasty and coronary stent placement, and permanent pacemaker or automated internal cardioverter defibrillator (AICD) placement.

The Coronary Care Unit is staffed by highly trained caring personnel who strive to meet the needs of patients and families in a compassionate and skillful manner during an acute illness. The staff and the physicians in the Coronary Care Unit are more reasons to make Medical Center Hospital your choice for cardiac care.
