ICCU

Your doctor has admitted you to the ICCU — Intensive Coronary Care Unit. Perhaps you were experiencing shortness of breath, weakness, heart palpitations, chest pain/pressure, or had passed out. Or you may be dealing with a severe infection, lung disease, stroke, gastrointestinal bleed, or heart condition.

We understand that this is potentially stressful time in your life. Be assured that the Queen of Peace Intensive Coronary Care Unit is staffed by specially trained nurses and is equipped with an advanced cardiac monitoring system.

The unit nurses work closely with Abbott Northwestern Hospital and Minneapolis Heart Institute to provide heart attack patients with prompt access to life saving interventions. These drugs can greatly reduce the amount of damage to your heart and may dramatically improve your recovery.

It's reassuring to know that excellent technology and staff are close at hand when minutes count.

The Hospital's link to Minneapolis Heart and Abbott mean 24-hour-a-day consultation, electrocardiogram (EKG) testing here, and readings via fax from these metropolitan facilities. Ongoing medical education on cardiac care for the ICCU nurses and affiliated physicians result in life-saving care.
