SAŽeTAK: Šezdesetih godina prošloga stoljeća osnivaju se prve koronarne jedinice u svijetu sa svrhom osiguravanja optimalne kardiopulmonalne reanimacije u bolesnika s infarktom miokarda. Koronarna jedinica Kliničkoga bolničkog centra Sestre milosrdnice osnovana je 23. rujna 1970., kao prva i najstarija intenzivna jedinica za zbrinjavanje kardioloških bolesnika na području jugoistočne Europe. Tijekom desetljeća, usporedo sa svjetskim tendencijama, izrasta u Zavod za intenzivnu kardiološku skrb s deset intenzivnih kreveta osiguravajući sveobuhvatnu intenzivnu kardiološku skrb. Tim medicinskih sestara i liječnika godišnje se skrbi za oko 1600 bolesnika s prosjekom od 2,2 dana ležanja, što nas svrstava uz bok europskoga prosjeka. Od 2005. godine dio smo Hrvatske mreže intervencijskog liječenja akutnog infarkta miokarda i zbrinjavamo bolesnike iz dijela Zagreba i Zagrebačke županije te Sisačko-moslavačke i Karlovačke županije. Zdravstvena skrb i liječenje koje pruža tim zdravstvenih djelatnika potpomognuti su sofisticiranom aparaturom kojom je opremljen zavod.
SUMMARY:The first coronary units were founded in the 1960s with the goal of ensuring optimal cardiopulmonary reanimation in patients with myocardial infarction. The Cardiac Care Unit at the University Hospital Centre "Sestre milosrdnice" was founded on September 23, 1970 and was the first and oldest intensive care unit for cardiological patients in southeastern Europe. Over the next several decades it developed in line with global trends and grew into the Department for Intensive Cardiac Care with ten intensive care beds, ensuring comprehensive intensive cardiological care. The team of nurses and physicians cares for approximately 1600 patients annually with an average hospital stay of 2.2 days, which puts us in line with European averages. Since 2005 we have been a part of the Croatian Network for Interventional Treatment of Acute Myocardial Infarction and have managed patients from parts of the City of Zagreb and Zagreb County as well as the Sisak-Moslavina County and the Karlovac County. Healthcare and treatment provided by our team of health professionals are facilitated by the sophisticated medical devices with which the institute is equipped.
