Abstract

The need for cardiovascular expertise in the treatment of advanced heart failure (AHF), malignant arrhythmias, and structural heart disease has shifted the role of the CCU to a more diverse and medically complex patient population. This study's purpose was to analyze the temporal trends in the principal diagnosis leading to admission to the CCU in a tertiary referral hospital. Over the last 15 years, the CCU has evolved from a medical unit strictly focusing on the care of patients with ACS to an advanced cardiac intensive care unit. The trends observed at our center provide further evidence that today's CCU contains a broader, more complex, critically-ill patient population.

冠状动脉监护室患者人群的转变:来自城市三级医疗中心的十年经验。
对晚期心力衰竭(AHF)、恶性心律失常和结构性心脏病治疗的心血管专业知识的需求已经将CCU的作用转移到更多样化和医学复杂的患者群体中。本研究的目的是分析在三级转诊医院的主要诊断导致进入CCU的时间趋势。在过去的15年里,CCU已经从一个严格专注于ACS患者护理的医疗单位发展成为一个先进的心脏重症监护单位。我们中心观察到的趋势进一步证明,今天的CCU包含更广泛、更复杂的危重患者群体。
