A Coronary Care Unit (CCU) is a specialized area in a hospital dedicated to the monitoring and treatment of patients with severe heart conditions. It provides advanced medical equipment and constant monitoring by healthcare professionals to ensure immediate care for issues like heart attacks or unstable angina.
