However, it has been clear for some time that the traditional role of CCUs has been changing, partly due to a reduction in the incidence of ST elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), with a corresponding increase in t...
متن کاملThe effect of stress and hemodynamic indices of patients admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit
Introduction: Hospitalization in the cardiac care unit (CCU) is a stressful event that can adversely affect the patient's recovery process. Another factor that may be affected by stress is hemodynamic indices. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of stress on hemodynamic indices in patients admitted to the CCU. Materials and Methods: The present study is a descriptive correlational...

This significant difference remained when a stroke subgroup and the non-stroke group were matched for age, sex and duration of stay in the unit (P less than 0.005). Hypertension and hyper...
