Physicians meet to discuss care of patients in CCU

Coronary Care Unit

The coronary care unit at MCG treats patients with life-threatening cardiac conditions that require constant supervision. The goal is to stabilize these patients and work towards a full recovery.

Patients are cared for by a team of experts including cardiologists, cardiology fellows, and cardiac nurses. Specialists are available for expert treatment of dangerous arrhythmmias, heart attacks, and heart failure.

Leaving the CCU

Once the patient leaves the CCU, we have a step-down unit to closely monitor a patient's progress and a Cardiac Rehab program to improve their overall cardiovascular health.
