A cardiac unit is a hospital department specializing in heart conditions.
It provides monitoring, treatment, and recovery care for patients with heart attacks, arrhythmias, heart failure, and other cardiovascular problems.
The term overlaps with coronary care unit (CCU) and cardiac intensive care unit (CICU), though these may indicate different levels of acute care depending on the hospital.
