Coronary Care Unit

A coronary care unit (commonly referred to the CCU) is an intensive care unit within a hospital specializing in the care of patients with heart attacks, unstable angina, Cardiac dysrhythmia and (in practice) various other cardiac conditions that require continuous monitoring and treatment, including patients in-transition of receiving organ trasplantation specific to the chest. CCUs are typically staffed by cardiac specialist doctors and nurses.

Seattle Grace Hospital housed a CCU; however, due to the merger with Mercy West Medical Center, and then subsequent name change, the CCU is now part of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
