The coronary care unit, also known as the cardiac care unit, employs registered nurses with the critical care backgrounds. CCUs were originally designed to care for patients with acute heart attacks, but now they also provide critical care to patients with life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, acute coronary syndrome, and congestive heart failure. CCU nurses specialize in caring for patients with these and other serious heart conditions that require continuous monitoring and treatment.

Coronary care unit nurses may hold Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Cardiac Vascular Nursing Certification (CV-BC) or Cardiac Medicine Certification (CMC), among others.
