About Cardiac ICU
The cardiac ICU provides intensive monitoring and treatment for patients with serious heart conditions, such as a large heart attack, dangerous rhythms, heart failure or recovery after cardiac surgery.
Fast treatment of a heart attack saves heart muscle, so call 108 early and do not delay going to hospital.
