Résumé

Coronary care units (CCUs) were originally designed to monitor and treat peri-infarction ventricular arrhythmias but have evolved into highly specialized cardiac intensive care units (CICUs) that provide care to a patient population that is increasingly heterogeneous and complex. Paralleling broader epidemiologic trends, patients admitted to contemporary CICUs are older and have a greater burden of cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular comorbidities. Moreover, contemporary CICU patients have high illness severity and often present with acute noncardiac organ dysfunction. In addition to these shifting demographic patterns, there have been important epidemiologic changes in CICU technologies, multidisciplinary systems of care, and physician staffing and training.
